About the game
Face rival archeologists in a race to unlock an ancient temple's forgotten secrets. Before you can lay hands on the invaluable treasure it's holding, you have to deduce the combinations of statuettes unlocking the hidden vault! At the beginning of Temple Code, each player receives a combination card with a series of three unique statuettes that everyone can see but themselves. Each round, two combination cards are dealt face-up in front of each player. On your turn, pick a set of cards in front of another player, then take one for yourself and give them the other one. By aligning this card next to the one you're trying to guess, you will get hints about the matching statuettes: each blue circle indicates a statuette that is on both cards at the same place, and each orange triangle stands for a statuette that is on both cards, but in different positions. At any time during the game, a player can guess the card in front of them. Whether they guessed correctly or not, they receive a new combination card to guess. Whoever first correctly guesses two combinations wins. —description from the publisher

The listed playing time for Temple Code is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Temple Code 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.
Temple Code has a complexity rating of 1.9 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
