Get ready to channel your inner detective, mathematician, and poker-faced interrogator, Digit Code, the tense, logic-fueled deduction game!
In Digit Code, it’s not about who is the fastest, it’s about who can stay cool under pressure, ask the sharpest questions, and piece together just enough fragmented truth to unlock a secret six-digit mystery. It’s Clue meets Sudoku, with a digital twist and a race against time.
 
So... what’s the code?
We don’t know.
You don’t know.
But you are about to find out.

In this cryptic contest of two (or more!), each player creates a hidden six-digit code: three numbers stacked over three, each digit from 0 to 9 appearing at most twice — and never side by side. Then, the duel of deduction begins.
You will take turns asking one of four question types, each designed to reveal just a glimpse of the truth:

• How many spaces in this row/column are filled?
• Is digit X even or odd?
• Between digits X and Y, which is larger?
• Is the segment at this exact spot filled?

 
But don’t get too comfortable with your favorite strategy — you must ask each type before circling back. It’s like playing 20 Questions with a calculator and a blindfold.
When you think you’ve cracked it, you can offer a full six-digit guess. If you’re right, victory! If not, your opponent simply says, "Wrong"... and you feel the heat.
Two wrong guesses, and you're out.
 
With three or more players, the stakes get even higher. One player sets the code; the others race to reveal it. One guess too early and you could be eliminated. One turn too late, and your rival might beat you to the punch. Think fast, but think smart.

I had to quit the tutorial between bad grammar and confusing terms

The tutorial is difficult to understand. It doesn't point out where the hints are, what to do with C column exactly. It needs improving. Thank you.

たのしい！！！！！
リアルタイムで一回遊んでみたけど頭の回転がとても気持ちいい！！
BGAでチューリングマシンを初めて遊んだ時のような気持ちよさ。最高

Please decide:
Deutsch oder Englisch?

Second post on bgg a program to,solve the game ….ok no multiplayer online for this game for sure :)

The fact that notes on the "sheet" are not saved but must be taken separately is sooooooo annoying. In Turing Machine it works, why not here, too?

Edit: Okay, so I just found the icon to manually save your draft.

"But don’t get too comfortable with your favorite strategy — you must ask each type before circling back."

This rule doesn't seem to be implemented

Just like with Orapa Mine, the publisher has decided to make the game essentially pointless in 2-player. In both games, the full 2-player rules would have each player set up a puzzle for the other, but on BGA both are solving the same puzzle as in a 3+ player game. But that mode is broken by the fact that on your turn you can either ask a question or submit a solution but not both, so you're trying to ask questions that reveal as little new information as possible.

The printed version is for 2 o 5 players. With 2 players, it is a duel, where each player creates a code for their opponent to guess. With 3 to 5 players, one player acts as the question master and creates one code, that all others players try to guess (so there are 2 to 4 real players and 1 master).

For the online version, BGA can act as the master, so instead of 3 to 5 players, it could be 2 to 4 players plus BGA master.

Therefor, with 2 players, I would expect an option to choose whether to play it as a duel or with BGA as master. But then, the option to play with 5 players is really a 6-player game with BGA as master? But isn’t this game fo 2 o 5 players only (including the master)?

And I don’t understand the solo mode, as there is no solo rule for the printed version. Does solo mean that BGA acts as second player AND master? Or is it a real solo mode with new rules exclusively for online adaption?
