A 4-digit code

Four colored dice secretly pick a character, a situation, a place and an invention from the year 2080.

The Author can’t talk

With Author cards, they guide the Readers to the right cards without saying a word.

Private answers

Everyone hears the others’ codes, but only you know how many digits you got right.

2080

How to play

  1. Setup

    Lay out a grid of 4 rows by 6 columns: characters, situations, places and inventions.

  2. The secret code

    Behind the book, the Author rolls the dice. The color is the row (blue character, red situation, yellow place, green invention) and the number is the column.

  3. Clues without words

    The Author places one Author card next to each row, all four at once.

  4. Everyone says their code

    Each Reader writes down a code and everyone says it out loud at the same time. The others’ codes stay in view.

  5. The answer is secret

    The Author tells each Reader, in private, how many digits they got right. Nobody knows the others’ scores.

  6. End of the game

    Just like Les Secrets de la Tour Eiffel: up to four rounds and a last chance. The Reader who cracks the code wins with the Author.

The rules that make it special

The new rule

In 1812 and the Eiffel Tower game, everyone knows how many each player got right. In 2080 the Author’s answer is private: the others’ codes can help you… or throw you off.

Everything else stays

It plays like Les Secrets de la Tour Eiffel. If you know a Secret Stories game, you already know how to play 2080.

The Reader cards

What 2080 looks like

The 146 chosen cards: 51 characters, 36 situations, 28 places and 31 inventions. They’re the same size as the 1812 and Les Secrets de la Tour Eiffel cards, so you can mix them. Each game, six cards from each row are laid face up.

The Vision cards

113 dream cards

These are the Author cards of 2080. None of them shows the card to guess: the Author looks for a detail that leads to it, and the Readers have to guess what the Author had in mind.
