Pract is actually inspired by Zendo. I had the idea of playing Zendo with number sequences, but then I felt that people don't seem to have as much fun in cooperative games as competitive games. I guess I should have cited that. (There are many other influences that people here will probably recognize.)

Perhaps I've made it worse, but I was hoping that both players could learn a master-like emphasis on learning.

Zendo is not a cooperative game.

You're right. Somewhere I got the idea that the non-masters are working together.
