Zenji rules and game play
Zenji has one basic, golden rule:
‘’ LESS IS MORE ‘’
The players with LESS points in their monkey mind
earn MORE elemental points from the higher mind.
Every playing round of Zenji
all players start with a mind
filled with 4 active monkeys.
Who calms the mind first?
At the end of a round, every
player that achieved a clear
Zen-mind (zero-mind) gets
the elemental points!
Zenji’s objective :
The first player to score
15 ELEMENTAL POINTS
wins the game!
TIP for new players:
Make sure you have your REFERENCE CARDS close
to you during your first
