Sona
Inspired by Sona, a living sand-drawing tradition practised by Lunda Cokwe and
neighbouring peoples in eastern Angola. These drawings carry stories, knowledge, and
collective memory; this game is a source-labelled adaptation, not an official or
practitioner-led teaching.
Eleusis
Inspired by Robert Abbott’s 1956 induction card game, later introduced to a wider
puzzle audience through Martin Gardner’s Scientific American
columns. Test specimens, infer the hidden law, then publish your proof.
Pente Grammai
A playable Lost Games experiment. Race five counters to the sacred line, compare
transparent reconstruction hypotheses, and see exactly which rules are invented.
