Tanj

Tanj is a strategy game for up to six players. It has 27 pieces per player. The board is made up of 769 hexagonal tiles laid out like a six-petalled lotus flower. When played with two or three participants, each player can include an "ally" in their pieces to add interest.

The game was invented as a metaphor for the rules of sende, and also for the realtionships between the Great Houses. It is also considered a tool for strategic thinking.

Masterful players of Tanj can use the game to recreate historical events, or even to secretly send messages to each other - a practice often used by Sēq spies.
