矩陣謎語 (Lost in the Grids) was released as part of the 2020 Taiwanese convention "150 Boardgame Con" where games sell for 150 TWD, roughly $5 USD. The game consists of a limited deck of cards, with suits visible on the back; some player tokens; and some magnifying glass tokens. The players' goal is to arrange the cards into a grid such that no suit or rank is duplicated in a row or column. On a turn, a player may choose to use the magnifying glass tokens to peak at a card in the grid or a players hand; then, they must play two cards, one face up and one face down, and can play them into the grid or aside. At the end of the game, all cards are flipped face up and any cards in a row or column which share a suit or rank are removed. Players earn positive points for cards remaining in the grid and unused tokens, and lose points for cards removed from the grid. The players can then compare their score to a rubric to see how well they did, from "No comment." to "Psychic!"
