At 6:00, shouldn't the Black team's encryptor have written 3.1.2, as indicated on the code card, instead of 3.2.1? I get that 3.1.2 is probably correct given the clues, but that's not the sequence the Black team's encryptor was given.

i see you're using some Bic mechanical pencils there. does the game come with something to write with? or do you need to supply your own? i'd be shocked if those Bic's came with the game.

The game doesn't come with pencils, you'll need to supply some when playing - or keep a couple in the box.

Theoretically can't you try and guess the enemy team's code? So in that case there's a tiny chance you get an interceptor token on round one. Or is that forbidden by the game's rules?

It's in the rules.

I just want to know , the order of guesses? In exemple: Its white team turn , the 3 clues are called. Now the two teams got to guess what is the combination at the same time? Because in doing so the other team could just copy what the black team said and vice-versa?

Hey there, I'm always happy to try to help with rules questions, but if the answer is provided in the video, than I have to direct you there. You'll find an index in the description to help you find the section you might be looking for. If there is a specific section that is unclear, provide a time stamp and the part you are unsure about.

@cakemakenavantiya

3 жыл бұрын

Both the teams have to write it down before anyone makes a guess, so they won't be able to copy unless they are able to secretly erase and rewrite a different number, which is cheating.

Hey Manos, I tend to avoid reviewing or recommending, because every gamer is going to have their own likes and dislikes. What works for one family of 4 might not work with another. I prefer to just show how the game is played and hopefully that gives you some insight into whether it would be a good fit for your family and their tastes.

I’m surprised that sentences/humming/pantomiming is allowed, instead of single word clues. After all, how would one cram an entire sentence onto a gamesheet for either side? Or a hum/miming action, for that matter? Doesn’t the very game mechanics as described functionally limit teams to just giving one-word clues?

@WatchItPlayed

4 жыл бұрын

That's a tough thing for me to answer, since I'm not involved with the game's design. I think most people in practice will stick to shorter clues, but the rules allow other options, so that is why it is explained that way here.

One thing not clear. How does opponent team know which of the words to transpose to the lower part of the page. Ie at 7:54, there is only one transposed word for the first red_window of the white team even though two rounds have been played. My question is... who tells who what and when about right or wrong on the digits of the code? How much "correct/incorrect" information does each team receive?

Both teams are told what the right value should have been for each clue given. You'll see an example of this here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZHh2yZmTYpDWgZc.html Hope that helps!

Yep, as JT said, I get to work on the show as much as I do thanks to the people who donate during our yearly fundraisers. At a certain level you get your name in the credits. They are quite literally ensuring the videos get produced!

The timer actually ruins the game completely... the beauty of Decrypto is in allowing the encryptor zero time restraints so they can come up with precisely the right concoction of clues that are just obvious enough for their teammates but not obvious at all for their opponents... and my god finding that alchemical genius takes time. A LOT of time. This game is like a good shiraz. It needs to breathe... Only then does it truly shine, and shine, it does.

I prefer to use it, but I like a certain amount of tension in the process and prefer my party style games to go a little faster, rather than be drawn out by one team that is taking significantly longer than the other, BUT, that's my personal preference. By all means, whatever makes the game more enjoyable to your group, is how you should play it. I tend to disagree with unilateral statements like "the timer ruins the game completely". I suspect what you mean is "it ruins it for 'you'". Things like this are why I leave out all review or opinion type comments in our videos. It comes down to personal preference and everyone is different.
