We learned how to play the game of Al-Jabar, a game about color mixing, which can serve as an introduction to the important mathematical concept of group theory. For the rules of the game and information about the creators, go to their web site: http://al-jabargames.com/ . The attached file, written by the game's creators, describes the rules and the mathematical concepts behind the game.
