Does a game have Buddha nature?

Zendo’s a fun little logic game played with Looney Labs’ Icehouse pyramids. I played a few rounds last Friday night and loved it.

A ‘master’ picks a rule: “all arrangements of pieces with characteristic X have Buddha nature.” See Karl von Laudermann’s Zendomizer for example rules.

She then makes two arrangements of pieces: one with, and one without Buddha nature.

The ’students,’ in turn, build their own propositions and ask if they have Buddha nature until someone discovers the rule.
