“The point,” Bredon said grandly, “is to play a beautiful game.”
So, whilst at work at B&N I saw they sold this game Tak. I wanted to buy it but hadn't read the book. The slogan was that it was a beautiful game and I laughed cause I thought maybe it was a joke but now I get it and that subtle reference to the novel was FANTASTIC. UPDATE: this is me coming from the future to comment on this past highlight and this becomes such a fantastic motif in the novel and I love it.
