Releasing at Canterbury Gaming Con (9–10 Aug), Temple Code is a clever code-breaking game where you will race to deduce your combinations. Get clues directly from your opponents' cards (i.e. incorrect info is all yours 😆)! Correctly guess two codes to get the medallion to win the game🏆. #deductions

The clever clue retrieval system in Temple Code is illustrated. Align the clue card to your code card to gain information: the blue circle means a statue is in your combination in the right position, the red triangle means that it is in the wrong position.

Correctly guess your combination to gain half of the medallion. The first player to get two halves wins the game!
