| Mastermind | 168 |
| Mastermind has become one of the most popular games around these days. (Games and Puzzles magazine gave it their highest rating.) Among other applications, it is used by a number of computer companies to test the programming skills of potential empoyees. The game was originated by Invicta Plastics; Mastermind is a trademark of that firm. In its original form, this game of skill requres a mind, but no computer. |
