Having played this game several times, I don't see the comparison with a roll & write, and for me, it is not that type of game at all. Here, we are in a deduction game that is indeed quite simple in its rules, but where the depth mainly comes from the interactions you can have with other players (especially when you choose which hint you give to other players). I find it quite impressive that Yoan Levet managed to add this level of interaction to a game as cold as Mastermind.
First I thought I was looking at Elton John and than I realized it's Tom Vasel from the Dice Tower :).
I got excited at the idea of a multiplayer Mastermind; but it's Roll & Write with only a limited set of options. Too bad. Thanks for the review!
