come up with a convincing argument that math is indeed present and needed to be successful at playing your chosen game.

Do you have a board game from childhood that you always liked to play? Or perhaps there’s a particular card game that has a warm place in your heart? Or do you a possibly-unhealthy obsession with a certain video game?

Your task this week is to focus on these questions and choose any game from anywhere in the world that uses any medium. There is a catch though: it has to be a game that involves math to some extent. Math can be present in counting, making sets, building things, whatever, as long as math is present then it’s a valid game.

Once you’ve taken care of choosing a game, your next part of the task is going to be a bit more thought provoking: come up with a convincing argument that math is indeed present and needed to be successful at playing your chosen game.
