Mastermind Game is one of the most familiar game, the goal is to logically deduce the position and color of the pin placed by the other player. However, when we serious thinking about it, there lack an element of interactivity between players. Since one is guessing, another just checking his/her guess; it could get pretty boring for the checking guy.
My thought is what if we changed the rule of the game so both players have to guess and check other’s guess. i.e. Player A has to guess Player B’s position and location of the pins; while Player B also have to guess Player B’s position and location of the pins. The goal is to accurately guess the other player’s position and location of the pins before s/he does.
Another thought is if we allow the player to change just one pin for the other player guess at the price of revealing the color and position of the pin, or has to updated just 2 lines of the feedback/result of other player’s guess(He has the choice of which lines of feedback to be updated, which is a hard choice.) Obviously, the player has to evaluate the risk of revealing the location through updating the feedback/result of the guess against the increase of difficulty of other player reach the correct answer.
So now, Mastermind is more exciting than ever!
