Description
Zendo is a game of inductive logic that's all about figuring out a secret rule. One player, the Moderator, creates the rule and the others try to crack it by building and studying different configurations of the game pieces. The first player to correctly guess the rule wins, making it a thrilling challenge of deduction and pattern recognition. With its simple yet engaging gameplay, Zendo is accessible to board game fans of all levels, and can be played with 2 to 6 players in as little as 15 minutes or as long as 60. The game's abstract strategy and puzzle elements make it a great choice for those who enjoy using their brains to outsmart their opponents. Since there's no necessary in-game text, Zendo is a great option for players of all languages, and its compact design makes it easy to take on the go.
