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".
