A strange little side quest
Tac Tac Xo has plenty of company in a long tradition of players chasing timing, patterns and better decisions. Chess changed dramatically in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries when the queen became the board's most powerful piece. That is only half the story. Pac-Man went on sale in 1980, and its creator Toru Iwatani famously linked the character's shape to a pizza with a slice missing. That history is one reason familiar mechanics can still feel new when they are recombined well.
