Title: Poor quality and design
Product review: Just purchased this manufactured version of the classic game and found it to be terrible!The pegs the code makers has to enter to give clues to the code breaker are entered on a square pattern of holes!... which bears not resemblance/mapping to the linear arrangement of pegs for the code breaker! With the absence of this one-to-one mapping of the peg positions, it becomes very difficult for my 6-8 y old! (I suspect this un-natural arrangement of peg holes is to circumvent the original patent! -- Can't see any other reason why!?!).The colors are off colors (not like the original).The construction is very light platics (not $13 worth!).The design of the mask for the code maker is cumbersome, even for small children fingers (I miss the simplicity of a removable mask like the original).All these negative features negate so much of the pleasure of this game that I'm returning it and will try to find the original!
