== Commentary == Another intriguing game, though this is much more abstract than the last. The use of games as mathematical exercises is prolific on the surface, and this seems to indicate that D'ni culture shares in that particular gambit (if you'll forgive the pun). Also, I find the fact that the Platonic solids are called 'perfect cuts'. This seems to connect their conception in D'ni mathematics with stone cutting. This seems in line with the preponderance of stone-related metaphors in D'ni culture, having developed in a cave and all. However, I wonder if the D'ni predilection for stone is not unique to the D'ni, but somehow relates to the [[Ronay]]. The Ronay, doubtlessly, knew of mathematical concepts as the Platonic solids. If the term 'perfect cut' comes from them, then the connection between the solids and the cutting of stone might also be based in the Ronay. But that’s just idle speculation. —Blade Lakem [[Category:D'ni games]]
