Turing Machine Board Game - Tutorial and Solo Playthrough - Can you beat the machine?

[@ericlangeveld1485]

Great review thank you for posting it. Love the game. Love to see more puzzles. Keep up the good work.

[@tabletopforone]

Thank you so much! You are encouraging to me. I am so glad you enjoy the video.

[@GeertNeefs]

Thanks for the explanation. I think at the end you did not even have to ask verifier C anything. The mere fact that it is in the game told you already that there had to be a 'smallest' number. Since you knew blue was 1, yellow could never be 1 too because then there is no 'smallest' number.

[@tabletopforone]

Yup, you are correct. I am trying to remember, but I think I did it that way to show a particular thing about the gameplay. Thank you so much for watching!

[@jtfike]

it would have shown an "x" if there was an equal number. I guess you make a decent assumption but it is possible that is there just to troll you. I dunno if hte game is that cruel.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I was having trouble relating the Question outcome to my number. And how I can use previous answers (or my number) to weed out current options (i.e. ascending order)!

This appeared very easy and simple to solve, does the game come with more complex and demanding puzzles?

[@tabletopforone]

Yes, there are three levels of difficulty. 2nd level has two criteria cards per spot, and only one is right. Level 3 has the verifier cards jumbled so you don't know which verifier it belongs to. There are a ton of problems to solve and the verifiers get more specific (only responding to a specific color you don't know, but the machine does).

[@tabletopforone]

I will be doing a playthrough on level 2 difficulty hopefully by this weekend. I'll be interested to hear what you think about that playthrough. I'll also do it going in blind. This video I did after I solved the puzzle.

Hi, Need some help regarding this game. Is there anyway we can connect/talk?

I dont't understand. Why in A verify false result is in right condition and not in left??

[@tabletopforone]

Because the left part only deals with the number one. The right part deals with all other numbers. If the result was a green checkmark, then we would know that blue was greater than 1, and that blue couldn't be 1, but we wouldn't know which number it was (2,3,4, or 5).

[@jtfike]

you are verifying whatever condition he set up with the numbers he had. Blue was not 1, so it was verifying teh blue being 5. 5 is not one so it wasn't verifying left condition. That is impossible. It was verifying whether blue was >1 and it was false.

[@martinbredeck2719]

The deduction made at 6:17 is valid because "not greater than 1" implies "equals 1" in this game: the conditions on each card are mutually exclusive. The guess can only satisfy one of them, and the verifier tells you if it does.

I hope this game will appear in Russia.

[@tabletopforone]

I've seen posts about it getting wider distribution. So, I hope that means you'll see it soon. Thanks for watching and for the sub!

​@@tabletopforone I often play the game "Black Sonata" now. Are you familiar with this game? I do book and board game reviews.

[@tabletopforone]

I have heard of it. It looks like a fun solo experience. I see it for sale at my local store. Maybe I'll pick it up someday. Is it very replayable?

[@readactor]

@@tabletopforone It seems to me yes. I also love games with high replay value.
