Read the full game description
Temple Code is a deduction game about identifying concealed three-statue combinations. On your turn, choose two comparison cards; keep one and pass the other to a rival. Each comparison reports blue matches for the right statue in the right position and orange matches for the right statue in the wrong position. The clues are public enough to invite competition but incomplete enough to reward disciplined elimination. Correctly identify two hidden codes before anyone else, or tackle the logical puzzle alone.
