I second the OP's recommendation of Zendo. It could've been named "Induction: The Game", it's a great medium for practicing (and teaching!) some basic science and rationality skills, and it's also a heck of a lot of fun. Plus, you can use the neat little Zendo pyramids (also called Icehouse pieces) for various other games.
You don't really need the pyramids, though they're definitely neat. You can do it with coins, dice, little glass beads, whatever. With words and phrases, it makes a car game; the game "Green Glass Door" can be seen as an instance.
I call this game "playing Science".
I agree,
I'm not sure if I should go with Treehouse or IceTowers...
If I buy IceTowers I could probably play Treehouse, but not the other way round...
:)
Hm, I'd never heard of Treehouse before, thanks for the link. I'll try that out next time I bring my Zendo set somewhere.
You're right that trying to do Zendo with only a Treehouse set would be very frustrating. Even with a full 60 piece Zendo set, it doesn't take more than a few rounds before you have to start taking apart some of the older experiments to build new ones.
