ESP or Experiment in Supersensory Perspicacity

👁️ Introduction
In the 1930s, Duke University scientists Karl Zener, PhD, and J.B. Rhine, PhD, conducted a series of experiments to test subjects for extrasensory perception, also known as ESP. One of their most famous experiments involved a deck of cards designed by Zener: Rhine held up a card with the back facing the test subject and asked them to intuit the symbol on the face of the card.
This Experiment in Supersensory Perspicacity expands upon Zener and Rhine’s work. Instead of presenting individual cards, this clairvoyance aptitude test is enacted through a trick-taking game.
🃏 What's Included
🔮 How to Play
Distribute Materials:
Deal 6 cards to each player.
Set one card face-down in the center: this is the Vision Card!
Share Your Vision:
Everyone opens their third eye to psychically see what is on the Vision Card, then makes a prediction.
If anyone correctly predicted what is on the Vision Card, they score a point and that suit or rank is elevated to Supernatural status (aka becomes the trump suit)!
Develop a Hypothesis:
Place some of the cards from your hand face-down.
One will be your bid.
The others will be played into the final tricks.
Perform the Test:
Play five tricks – first with the cards in your hand, then with your face-down cards.
Evaluate Results:
Your final card is your bid: did you take the right number of tricks?
Score points for correct bids and captured tricks!
