The Voynich Puzzle

Unravel one of history’s greatest mysteries in The Voynich Puzzle, the immersive, cooperative board game from Spain’s Salt & Pepper Games. Designed for 1–4 players ages 14 and up and playable in 90–120 minutes, The Voynich Puzzle invites you to step into the shoes of codebreakers and scholars, striving to decipher the enigmatic Voynich manuscript.

Each player uses their own book of cryptic pages, selecting double-page spreads to interact with five main manuscript sections: botany, astrology, baths, writing, and recipes. Gain knowledge, share discoveries with others, and add pieces to the collective puzzle as you flip and turn cards to reveal new secrets. Deciphering pages unlocks powerful actions and new endgame scoring possibilities. The player with the most knowledge at the game’s end is crowned the master decipherer.

With deck-building, pattern building, contracts, and clever tile placement, The Voynich Puzzle is perfect for fans of cooperative challenges, historical mysteries, and deep strategic play. Will you crack the code and write the next chapter in the manuscript’s legend?
