Break the Code
Break the Code is a logical deduction game played with number tiles and question cards. You win if you can guess all of your opponent's tiles in a two-player game or if you can guess the face-down tiles in the center for a three- or four-player game. Put on your thinking cap!
Place all of the number tiles face down and shuffle them. Place your game screen in front of you, then randomly take your tiles. Place them face up behind your screen in numerically ascending order starting from the left. If you have two tiles with the same number, place the black tile on the left. Once you have placed your tiles, removed any unused number tiles from the game. Lastly, shuffle the question cards and place them in a pile face down. Draw the top six cards from the pile and place them in the center of the table.
Deduce all of your opponent's tiles (or the center tiles) and correctly guess their colors and numbers in order from left to right

Rules summary
Overview
This game has 2 versions, 2 player and 3+ player, each play DIFFERENTLY
On a 2 player game, you are trying to guess the tiles of your opponent
In a 3+ player game, you are trying to guess the undistributed tiles
All codes are arranged in ascending order. When there are two identical digits of different colors, the black one will be on the left.
TURN
On your turn, you have two options:
1 ) Ask a question from the available pool
On 2 and 3 players, only your opponents answer
On 4 players, you also give your answer
2 ) Guess the code
If you guess incorrectly in a 2-player game, your turn ends and play continues as normal. If you guess incorrectly in a 3+ player game, you are out of the game and lose. If everyone guesses incorrectly, there is no winner.
If you guess correctly, the remainder of the round continues to give all players equal turns then everyone who guessed correctly at the end of that round is an equal winner
NOTE: Although there are multiple versions of this game, this adaptation uses the version whereby you may only guess during your turn NOT out of turn
BGA HELP
The white board is your notepad in essence and is made up of multiple areas.
If added in the options (recommended) the game will auto-fill 100% known info (e.g. if the question was "where is number 8", as opposed to "do you have an even number" which is vague and you have to figure out yourself)
You can click on any large white space and, similar to Sudoku, a box will come up with a keypad of theory numbers (multiple can be selected) which appear as small notes as to what you think is in each space. (e.g. 7 will appear at top left and 9 will appear at top right, so if you're not sure if it's 7 OR 9 you can pencil in both numbers)
The lower part of the white space has the three colours, you can cross or tick these to show whether you think it's a certain colour, you can tick and cross multiple e.g. tick black and white whilst crossing green
Above the other players boxes is an area with every number in the game, you can use this to cross numbers off as you disqualify them
To the right of this is a representation of the final answer, this is NOT the guessing area, but can be used to formulate what you think the final answer is in theory
