Code 777

Sometimes someone surprises you. Sometimes that surprise is really knocked out of the park. I was absolutely floored by this gesture.

My review of Code 777 will be brief. It's the best deduction game I've ever played and one of my favorite games overall. It's much more deep than Clue (even Master Detective), and much more engaging and simple than the needlessly complex Mystery of the Abbey. It's sublime, and always a pleasure to play.

The problem is that it's hard to get, being out of print and all. In fact, I've only ever played a homemade set at a buddy's house. That buddy is Jon, and I mentioned to him some time ago that I was looking to make my own copy of Code 777. Well, he beat me to the punch...

These are blank mahjong tiles w/ stickers. I'm sleeving the cards, and we've even played our first game with it. :D
