Figure It is a board game released in 1975 for 2–5 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Alex Randolph.
Figure It, a.k.a. Domemo or Code Mine, is a captivating game with simple rules that challenges players to discover their own set of numbers — numbers that other players can see, but not you — using probability and deductive reasoning. The game includes seven "7" tiles, six "6" tiles, five "5" tiles, and so on down to one "1" tile. A player can deduce their tile numbers based on the other players' tile distribution. Deduce your numbered tiles first to win! Each player is assigned numbered tiles that they cannot see but are visible to all other players. On your turn, call out a number you think is part of your set to break your secret code! Use your deduction skills in this captivating game for the whole family! Can you crack your secret code? This game is clearly a variation of Alex Randolph's own »Code 777«. (Other similar games are e.g Coyote, What's that on my head, Egghead , and many others ...) Note: The name P. Halvah on the cover of the first Domemo-version (Ravensburger German edition from 1975) is one of Alex Randolph's pseudonyms !
Figure It supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Figure It is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Figure It for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Figure It has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
