Ready, set, TAO!

This Japanese game is a representation of what the Tao’s concept is supposed to be. I had no idea that a concept could be taken to be explained as a game. It is like thinking to make a game that explains Christianity without having to mention any of the characters (Jesus, God) but just a simple board game. This is one of the things that relate to the Tao, it is simple, easy to understand after you analyze the rules and tricks and tips. The Tao is just like that, read it at least twice and analyze it, understand the concept and then you can plat the Tao, play in your life, as the way to live, to play the Ta, to live the Tao.

The desireless and the desired, the yin and the yang are shown as the white and black playing checks. The game is simple, when a color surrounds the other then this one disappears. Taken this to the Tao, when you don’t balance out then one takes over and ends up making you misbalanced, and not following the Tao, falling. There has to be a little of both, “to gain is to loose and to loose is to gain”.
