Amazing game with the right group of people. When I was in grad school for math, my friends and I would get a pitcher of beer (or two, or three) and play Zendo for hours.
I tried bringing it to a company game night recently, and it was not super well received. A colleague of mine described it as, "less a game and more a way to slowly melt your mind".
- labster 4y agoI had a great time playing Zendo at a Perl conference, using a set of red, yellow, and blue Legos instead of pyramids. It’s a nice tactile thing to play with and build. Playing with programmers is fun, some of the guesses for the rule were long strings of conditionals — and incorrect, but being programmers this is the kind of logic we do all day. Trying the game with my local gaming group was… not successful. If we were into harder games, maybe it would have gone over better.
- mckirk 4y agoSomething about Perl developers enjoying a game that slowly melts your mind seems oddly fitting.
