Everyone loves Zendo.  I've introduced it to people from 9 to 90
(literally!), boys, girls, men, women, they all enjoy it.

I'm also glad to see so many more girls/women in roleplaying.  I
storytell a game of Exalted for my 12 year old niece, my wife, and a
female friend of ours.  She (the niece) has yet to pick up all the
numbers and mechanical bits but we (and the game system) are quite
forgiving on that end.
