Paper and pencil games are great for those times when your phone runs out of battery or when you want to entertain a child without giving them a device. Paper games are a great source of impromptu entertainment, since you almost always have all the supplies you need on hand to play. Depending on the number of players, there are 2-player games on paper, but there are also games that require a large group to play. Therefore, traditional pen and paper games are quite ideal for family and friend gatherings during holidays such as Tet, Christmas, or in the classroom. All you need is a pen or pencil and paper to play!

Then, one by one, the players try to guess their opponent's number to come up with the match number. The digits of the guessed number must also be different. Players take turns guessing numbers, with “bulls” indicating the number of correct digits in the correct position and “cows” indicating the correct number in the wrong position for each guess. The goal is to discover the secret chain in the fewest number of turns.
