This is the Wordle of Board Games | Turing Machine

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Ok so apparently there already is a Wordle board game: hasbropulse.com/products/wordle-the-party-game. But the point still stands lol! This game is great!

[@fabiengridel]

Wonderful review ! So happy you enjoyed the game. Fabien

[@LouisSimoneau]

The realisation at 7:32 is what I love about this game

[@TheBrothersMurph]

It never gets old. So so fun

[@HachetteBoardgamesUSA]

Wonderful, wonderful review! So glad the game was so fun!

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Thanks for making a great game! All the best to the Scorpion Masque team!

@@TheBrothersMurph All the best to you too! 😉It is the kind of reviews that makes us very proud!

[@tiagomarques9822]

Congratulations for a really interesting game. Can’t wait for it to hit the shelves.

[@marlonsouza9224]

This is a fantastic reviews!! The best one I’ve watched so far. Just got my copy yesterday… cannot wait to play with my kids.

[@katelyncurtin7625]

Hey! I found this game on your Top 100 list this year. It looked so cool that I bought it right away, haha. I can't wait to get it in the mail and start playing!

[@sandraschira8913]

Well guess what game is now on my Christmas wish list XD. I paused halfway through to add the game directly to the list then came back to watch the rest. Thanks so much for the great review!

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Hehe that’s awesome!

[@Mmtruempy]

I am so excited for this! I love the search for Planet X which seems similar but this is an even more pure deduction :0 so hype! 🤩

[@TheBrothersMurph]

That is one that is still on our shelf of opportunity and I agree I think it will be a satisfying game in a similar but distinct way

[@tiagomarques9822]

@@TheBrothersMurph If you liked Turing Machine, I’m pretty sure you’ll like The Search for Planet X. It’s not so pure logic deduction: it has a bit of betting and out-thinking your opponents, but the logic puzzle part is really satisfying.

[@Mmtruempy]

@@tiagomarques9822 yes I feel like Planet X gives a larger opportunity to throw off the other players by placing down theories to confuse them, where as this seems much more solitaire and pure deduction ⚖️ ❤️ love it

[@oddaudiocrafting]

Thanks for the great review and quick playthrough! Really helped me understand the game and has me very interested.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

You got it!

[@ChimeratAlpha]

You pretty much had me sold when you confirmed there's a way to get more puzzles outside of the box.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

That was such a smart move on their part! Love the daily puzzle!

[@rollingwithrob6579]

I love it just from this playthrough. Will buy once its out!

Yay!

I'm so jealous of that Legacy of Yu box in your background, hopefully we will see some playthroughs soon!

[@adityarajivratnam6863]

I am a kid who loves board gaming as well as learning programming with my Dad. I loved this review so much and found the game really innovative and interesting! Just ordered a copy. Thank you.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

No worries I’m glad you enjoyed and found it useful :)

[@lukepickles5099]

I was very confused with the Game Haus intro music, I thought it was a Metagame Minute at the intro but I’m glad there was a play through! Nice work, Mike!

[@TheBrothersMurph]

I didn’t quite know how I wanted to categorize this video so I definitely had a Metdame in an intro and a game haus intro music So it’s both?

[@lukepickles5099]

This looks completely up my street. Not coming to Europe until 'end of October' according to a post on the BGG forums. I need it now!

[@TheBrothersMurph]

It’ll be worth the wait!

[@lasocietedesjeux]

Very cool 😎, thanks!

[@mollymckee4109]

This playthrough was awesome! Now I see why this game was such a hit at Gen Con. I wasn't too interested before but, getting to see it played sealed the deal for me... it's on my list of must haves. Thank you!

[@TheBrothersMurph]

No worries! This game I think definitely benefits when you see it in action!

[@MaverickYMCMB]

This gives me nightmare just thinking how they designed this game. Great playthrough to get a sense of the game, definitively putting it on my wishlist. I probably will play it more solo than competitively. I discovered your channel not long ago and loving the vibe ! Keep doing what you do, it's awesome.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Hey we’re glad you found us! And yeah solo all day for this one. Great little puzzle to do every day

[@Therisktaker3]

Thanks for the play through. I learn more about a game seeing it played than I typically do from a review (although still interesting to hear of others opinions). This looks like a fantastic logic puzzle that is right up my alley. Good job and thanks again.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

You got it!

[@jurds216]

I am so amped for this game. It wouldn’t have ever picked it up but so glad for this review and playthrough. It’s in my list!

Great review! I have watched other vids on turing machine but this is the first that sold me on this game.

Nice!

This is the best review format I have ever seen

[@TheBrothersMurph]

[@D3zplaysgames]

Great Video. Really intrigued by this one and your little demo was perfect for giving a clear understanding of the game. Keep up the good work!

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Thank you so much!

[@SteveAMcPherson]

Yes, a review that finally made sense to how it works. Thank you.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

You got it! I really wanted to try to hammer that home for folks because it tripped me up how the machine functions as well at first

[@GamerPhysics]

Such an amazing game, I'm super happy I got a copy at Gen Con, it was a tough nab for sure. Great little logic puzzle, and I enjoy the competitive mode quite a bit, it has just a touch of tension, but we don't take it super seriously. I like to think of it as a game of hubris and humility, sometimes you think you have it, and you've made some assumption that you're ignoring and that trips you up, and when you're trying to get an answer in just one fewer questions it's very tempting.

[@itsGabrielaCristina]

This looks quite cool. What I’m worried about is how often if will hit the table, especially in its competitive mode. I think it’s incredibly well designed.

[@Rhino1186]

You're posting videos at 4:00 am!? That's dedication.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

To be fair, we upload things and schedule their release time however because of my newborn I was up at 4 AM when this video dropped. So I think that counts as dedication

[@Poiuytrew.Q]

She’s dedicated to the cause.

[@KerryHallPhD]

that is awesome. I can't wait to try this in person.

[@lexmartel]

I was actually talking to my screen...this game, on stream...would be SOOOOO funnn!!!

Great job explaining this one. It was very confusing to learn based on the rule book at Gen Con.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Hey no worries! I was hoping to be able to show through doing to help clear things up because I too was confused after reading haha

[@corihulet739]

Ooh, this looks right up my alley. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! If you love this, you definitely need to get The Search for Planet X off your shelf of opportunity. I've only gotten to play it solo so far and love it that way

[@TheBrothersMurph]

I really do need to! Maybe this weekend!

[@postanbernd]

Great. Reminds me somehow of a very old game from ˋ72: Mastermind. But here the system gives the answers.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Ah good call. Yeah it definitely borrows some of those puzzly bits from games of the past

[@WesselB]

The option of three 1s can never be true, because it would make all the other verifiers obsolete. And the rules state you will always need all verifiers.

[@edward.miranda]

I see you teasing Legacy of Yu in the background.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Play through coming out on Monday ;)

I think this sold out at Gencon? I believe it was gone by the time Missy went to grab a copy.

Yeah it sold pretty quick from what we understand

[@tiagomarques9822]

There has been a long time since a game climbed so fast into the top places of my wannahaves list as Turing Machine has. I’m a sucker for logic deduction games, and this looks like a really good one. And it shares my initials ;-)

Indeed it does share your initials so perhaps this game is destined to be a favorite of yours!

I still say Letter jam is the wordle of board games, but Turing machine does seem super cool.

Outfoxed for grown-ups. Seriously seems like a very interesting game, but I would not compare it to Wordle. Mastermind is closer to Wordle. Turing machine is a masterpiece! Looking forward to playing it.

This looks brilliant! I have a daughter who loves to play Shipwreck Arcana with me, and this looks right up her alley. Now...how do I buy this? Um....dang.....

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Soooon. Sooooooon

[@miket7071]

I've never played wordle but this seems like an easier/solo version of Visitor in Blackwood Grove.

[@JorWat25]

I've looked into this, and this can get really difficult at the higher levels. Some of the later verifiers have up to nine possible conditions, with a lot of overlap. The examples here were all mutually exclusive (i.e. each code could only fit one condition), that is not true for the later verifiers. For example, Verifier 41 is 'the number of one specific color compared to 4', where a tick on, say, 345, tells you that the condition is either 'blue is less than 4', 'yellow is equal to 4' or 'purple is greater than 4'. Plus there's an 'extreme' mode where each verifier has two cards in front of it, meaning there are even more conditions each verifier could have. And if that's not enough, there's also a 'nightmare' mode where you're not told which verifier is using which card. So while the easy modes are pretty accessible, it can get really hard if you want it to.

[@veronicasalm]

I can't wait to get my hands on this! It seems a lot like Break the Code, which my partner and I absolutely love.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Nice!

[@Poiuytrew.Q]

I haven’t played Break the Code but it sounds a lot like it.

[@veronicasalm]

@@Poiuytrew.Q it's on BoardGameArena if you're interested in checking it out! We've always played the 2p game, where each player is trying to be the first to crack the other's 5-digit code. The code is always in ascending order, but each number can range from 0-9 and be either black or white (except for 5s, which are always green). You have to guess both the digits and the colours to win the game. Matches are quick to set up and play, we love it as a warmup before playing something more serious :)

[@Poiuytrew.Q]

@@veronicasalm oh okay cool! We’ll try it out. Thanks!

[@veronicasalm]

@@Poiuytrew.Q Awesome! Hope you enjoy it!

[@Wealtharch]

Do you prefer playing this game solo or multiplayer?

[@TheBrothersMurph]

I’ve mostly played solo/coop and played multiplayer once. Honestly either way is cool. As I said in the video I just don’t really care if I “win” I just want to get the code answered as quick as I can. But multiplayer is solid because everyone plays simultaneously and it’s fun to get competitive with your friends and try to get the answer quicker than they can

[@Wealtharch]

Thanks so much I appreciate the response

[@ktotheramer]

Actually….there is a Wordle board game. So not quite?

[@TheBrothersMurph]

This is somehow still MORE Wordle than Wordle

[@Boardgamegyrl]

How does this not get repetitive?

[@TheBrothersMurph]

It’s a different puzzle each time? Idk I just love it. Played hundreds of times and still love it

[@cashliam]

Maybe you need a notepad when playing Cryptid

[@TheBrothersMurph]

I probably do because when I play that game I have no idea what’s going on
