Master of Keys: Twin pack

Overview

Game has 12 "key" tiles which you can mostly see through. Keys can be rotated or flipped in any way. When you pile them as a deck they form a key pattern.

The object of the game is to manipulate the key deck so that the formed key pattern matches a randomized lock pattern.

Setup

Roll the dice and place them by color in the designated areas within the mint tin. Flip any 4s, 5s or 6s to their opposite side.

More Challenge? Try playing against a move or a time limit.

Playing

Make moves until you are done. A move consists of

1. picking up 1-12 of keys from the top of the key deck as a stack;
2. rotating and/or flipping the stack as whole; and then
3. placing the stack back to the top of the key deck.

Game End / Winning

You win when your key pattern matches exactly all the six dice defining the lock pattern.

More players

This is a twin pack, containing two copies of the game. You can compete against each other with a common lock pattern. The fastest player to form the winning key pattern wins the game.

Mint Tin Contest Note This is the edited entry for Master of Keys as a separate shop page because:

• I did not know how much editing was allowed (and if the restriction applied, since officially speaking Master of Keys did not make the semifinals).
• There are components for two games (since effectively the second copy is half free due production properties).
• The key set was adjusted so that exact match is possible for all lock combinations (although only numbers 1-3 were used).
