Turing Machine Coding Puzzle Game

In 1936, Alan Turing created the first conceptual model of a computer known affectionately as a Turing machine. Think of it as the great-grandparent of today's desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. This code-cracking game challenges players to discover millions of secret three-digit codes using a Turing machine–like artificial intelligence system made entirely of perforated cardboard and paper. Features a proto-computer AI machine tile that does not require wires, internet, or electricity (pretty retro, right?). Round after round, competitors stack cards to "ask" the computer logic questions to uncover the secret three-digit code through the process of elimination or relations between numbers. Play solo or in teams to decipher more than 7 million possible combinations created by an online problem-generator website. Comes with a cardholder, 45 punch cards, 48 criteria cards, and 95 verification cards. Includes 50 note sheets, four screens, and one marker for gameplay. QR code links to gameplay video. Made in China.
