After a game we usually stick around the table and play with the game goods, pieces, cards, chips, whatever. My son and I stack, arrange, and build.

So I decided to take some pictures of the results, a six stack pattern of Rummikub chips.

Thirty chips where there should be thirty six. The pattern isn’t symmetrical because my son made sure he got most of the chips. Nevertheless, I thought the object strange enough to watch for a while.

But there’s a story here too, an old story. The next photo is called “Ready.”

The next is called “SetGo.”
