Zendo

[cellio]

We had a fun evening playing Zendo. Oh, so that's who demonlurking and wanderingpixie are! The net is funny sometimes. :-)

We had eight different colors of pieces and still found ourselves having to recycle to get the pieces we wanted. It's way too easy to develop superstitions about size+color.

I didn't get to try my hand at being master. Maybe next time. This was only, I think, the third time I've played the game.

Glad you had fun too. I think I benefitted far too much from being behind either you or Dani in the seating order, and having your guesses before I went!

It seems there are two meta-tactics in this game:
1. Developing a rule that's not "too hard"
2. Being able to develop a guess just so that the Master has to disprove it (and give you more info for the rest of your guesses)

Now of course I can't wait to play again :-)

You will be unsurprised to discover that I have often been accused of being a PCB. Not as often as blackpaladin, but that's not saying much. montuos is, OTOH, a color wheelie.
