Invitation to Mastermind Mastermind is a game of deduction. The task is to uncover 1 secret code selected from a set numbering 1296 (= 6**4) elements. With every judiciously chosen guess and a (frank) response, the set of possibilities shrinks. When only one element remains it is bound to be the secret code. Furthermore there is an interesting variant of this game named STATIC MASTERMIND.

Game Collectors
Guenthers 3M Collectors Homepage (Spiele der Firma 3M) Da es schon mehrere Hompages 3M Spiele gibt, werde ich mich vorerst auf die selteneren und unbekannteren Erstausgaben und Varianten konzentrieren, da diese bisher nur sehr spärlich beschrieben wurden. Ich werde versuchen, diese jeweils ausführlich zu beschreiben (Material und Regeln) und einige Bilder beizufügen. Dabei handelt es sich nur teilweise um Spiele aus meiner eigenen Sammlung, viele der Informationen stammen von der weltweiten Gemeinde der 3M Sammler.

Silicon Valley Boardgamers Inspired by the success of the Tri-Valley Boardgamers (TVB) group that used to meet over in Pleasanton, but tired of the long drive, a few of us TVB regulars who live in the Silicon Valley/South Bay portion of the San Francisco Bay Area decided to form a similar group closer to where we live and work. For lack of a better name, we're calling this group the Silicon Valley Boardgamers (SVB).

Rund ums Thema Brettspiele Irgendwann keimte in meinen Mitspielern und mir die Erkenntnis, dass man andere auch an unseren Erfahrungen bezüglich der ganzen Spiele teilhaben lassen sollte, die wir so bei unseren Treffen ausprobieren. Deswegen haben wir alle Spiele nach Spielreiz (wie hat mir das Spiel gefallen), Design/Material (Wie ist das Spiel von der Aufmachung her, ist die Verarbeitung gut, gute Materialien), Verpackung (spricht sie an und ist sie zweckmäßig) und Anleitung (hier nur, wer sie gelesen hat) mit Punkten von 1 - 10 bewertet, wobei der Spielreiz dreifach gewertet wurde, weil der ja nun mal am Wichtigsten ist.
