How to play Zendo

One player judges a hidden rule, while the others build and examine piece arrangements to work out what makes an arrangement valid or invalid. It feels like a shared logic puzzle, with players testing ideas and revising their theories as new examples appear. Zendo suits groups who enjoy deduction and pattern spotting; it plays with 3 to 5 players in 60 minutes.
