game variations: 2

This variation of the game incorporates the idea of a symbolic language, still abstractly, in the form of specific groupings of shapes made available for play, like a complex bead.

In the basic instructions of the game, there are three possible game pieces. In this variation there can be many game pieces, made from combinations of the basic game pieces.

This variation might work well with a computer implementation, where the creation of playable pieces literally expands the size and complexity of the game. These player-created pieces may also form the basis of a symbolic language, the symbols representing specific concepts, which may open up an alternative way of playing the game--purely conceptually.
