What is "Eleusis"?
Eleusis is a card game that was created in the 1950s and is based on pattern recognition and deduction. It is typically played by two to six players using a standard 52-card deck. The goal of the game is to be the first to figure out the hidden rule that determines the valid sequence of cards. In the game, one player, the "dealer," secretly sets a rule for how cards must be played, and the other players take turns trying to follow this rule by placing cards in a growing pile. If a player plays an invalid card, they must draw a penalty card. The game continues until someone correctly identifies the rule or until all cards are played. Eleusis is a game of logic, observation, and strategy.
