AB (game)
AB, a variant of the board game Mastermind (board game), Mastermind, is a number guessing game involving two players. The codemaker makes a four-digit number with no repeats, and the codebreaker tries to guess this number in as few moves as possible. When the codebreaker makes a guess, the codemaker says the amount of “A”s, or the correct digits in the number as well as in the right place, and the amount of “B”s, or the correct digits in the number that is not in the right place.

Mastermind (board Game)
''Mastermind'' or ''Master Mind'' () is a code-breaking game for two players invented in Israel. It resembles an earlier Paper-and-pencil game, pencil and paper game called Bulls and Cows that may date back a century. History Mastermind was invented in 1970 by Mordecai Meirowitz, an Israeli postmaster and telecommunications expert. After presenting the idea to major toy companies and showing it at the Nuremberg International Toy Fair, it was picked up by a plastics company, Invicta Plastics, based near Leicester, United Kingdom, UK. Invicta purchased all the rights to the game, and the founder, Edward Jones-Fenleigh, refined the game further. It was released in 1971–2. The game is based on a paper and pencil game called Bulls and cows, Bulls and Cows. A computer adaptation was run in the 1960s on University of Cambridge, Cambridge University’s Titan (1963 computer), Titan computer system, where it was called 'MOO'.

Guessing Game
Guessing is the act of drawing a swift conclusion, called a guess, from data directly at hand, which is then held as probable or tentative, while the person making the guess (the guesser) admittedly lacks material for a greater degree of certainty. A guess is an unstable answer, as it is "always putative, fallible, open to further revision and interpretation, and validated against the horizon of possible meanings by showing that one interpretation is more probable than another in light of what we already know". In many of its uses, "the meaning of guessing is assumed as implicitly understood",Mark Tschaepe, "Gradations of Guessing: Preliminary Sketches and Suggestions", in John R. Shook, ''Contemporary Pragmatism'' Volume 10, Number 2, (December 2013), p. 135-154. and the term is therefore often used without being meticulously defined. Guessing may combine elements of deductive reasoning, deduction, inductive reasoning, induction, abductive reasoning, abduction, and the purely ra ...

Games Of Mental Skill
A game is a structured type of play usually undertaken for entertainment or fun, and sometimes used as an educational tool. Many games are also considered to be work (such as professional players of spectator sports or video games) or art (such as games involving an artistic layout such as mahjong, solitaire, or some video games). Games have a wide range of occasions, reflecting both the generality of its concept and the variety of its play. Games are sometimes played purely for enjoyment, sometimes for achievement or reward as well. They can be played alone, in teams, or online; by amateurs or by professionals. The players may have an audience of non-players, such as when people are entertained by watching a chess championship. On the other hand, players in a game may constitute their own audience as they take their turn to play. Often, part of the entertainment for children playing a game is deciding who is part of their audience and who participates as a player. A toy and a ...
