Great, thanks!

Let me clarify the wording of my rule just a bit: "When someone calls 
Mondo, you may hide a black or white stone in your fist, or secretly 
abstain by putting neither stone in your fist." Probably it was already 
clear that your response should be secret, whether it's "black", 
"white", or "abstain", but my wording was a bit ambiguous.

Yeah, it's a pretty small class - Eleusis, Zendo, Jewels in the Sand. 
But there do seem to be a number of "parlor games", or driving games 
like the one you describe, that have induction at their core.

You're welcome!
