We have found a treasure chest filled with gold coins, but the chest seems to be playing games with us when we try to take the gold. In this circle we'll examine how strategies can be created and compared, starting with a simple combinatorial game and moving on to more elaborate versions of the game. We will change the rules about what moves are allowed. Our exploration of the hows and whys of gaming will involve explaining our thinking and persuading each other that our thinking is correct.
