[http://www.wunderland.com/WTS/Kory/Games/Zendo/ Zendo] is an inductive reasoning/guessing game similar to [http://www.logicmazes.com/games/eleusis.html Eleusis], [http://www.pagat.com/eights/mao.html Mao] and [http://www.archimedes-lab.org/mastermind.html Mastermind].

Zendo is an inductive reasoning/guessing game similar to Eleusis, Mao and Mastermind.

Zendo is played with stackable plastic pyramids; see The Zendo Rules for more information.

This is not (yet) an attempt to translate the rules, but merely to translate the more commonly used terms in the game so it can be played fairly easily by people speaking Lojban.

Emphasis is on correctness rather than emulating the pseudo-buddhistic poetics of the original.

All unusual words should be in jbovlaste; bug me if they're not.

Feel free to replace words with links to their jbovlaste pages.
