A: Sort of. Your options of what Rules you could play would be limited.*

The trick is piece supply. The reason we didn’t feature Zendo in Pyramid Arcade is that the piece mix is optimized for games that need a lot of colors, but only a few trios of each, whereas for Zendo you need lots of pyramids in just a few colors. The original standalone set (green box) had five trios of four colors. The second standalone set (black & white box) has just three colors. In both cases, there were plenty of each color to work with.

* You could select only Rules which don’t pertain to color, but the whole group would then know that’s not an aspect. There would still be plenty of Rules to choose from, but it would cut out a huge number of them. You will inevitably want to upgrade your experience.

If you pick up a Homeworlds set to add to you your Pyramid Arcade, you will have six trees each of red, yellow, green and blue which is a great set of pyramids for playing Zendo.

No matter what pyramids you have, in addition to the Pyramid Zendo Rule Deck, you will need some other accoutrements, namely: marking stones (usually black and white) and guessing tokens (any color).
