Description Edit | History

This clever little game combines the elements of a good, logical deduction game and Indian poker. Each player receives a rack for keeping three tiles drawn from a pool of tiles, which are seven different numbers in seven different colors (28 tiles in total), however the rack is turned away from you. When players sit in a circle, each player can see everyone else's tiles, except their own. Each turn, players draw a card with a question like, "Do you see more yellow sevens or more blue sevens?" which should help the others' determine their tiles. Once you're reasonably sure, then you can take a guess. But if you're wrong, you have to start over with a fresh set of tiles...

Code 777 was explicitly inspired by What's That On My Head? and Alex Randolph credited Robert Abbott with codesigning it based on this.

8 Code 777 notesheet without question text
I've played this game more since posting my earlier notesheet, and I have now decided I prefer it with empty space for more free form notetaking.

2 Code 777 note sheet (with question text)
This is a note sheet for playing Code 777. It contains several pyramids of the numbers in color, for crossing out as one learns information. Also, unlike other note sheets, it contains the full text of the questions, so one need only jot down the answer to a question beneath the question text, rather than have to write down the question too.

6 Code 777
This is meant to be a comprehensive set of rules, detailed enough to enable my logic students to learn and play the game completely on their own.
