Zendo

Published 2001

Zendo is a game of inductive logic in which one player, the Master, creates a rule that the rest of the players, as Students, try to figure out by building and studying configurations of the game pieces. The first student to correctly guess the rule wins. Zendo uses Icehouse Pieces, but was released as a standalone game in July 2003. Inspired by Eleusis.
