Inspired by Barany's colourful Caratheodory theorem, we
introduce a colourful
generalization of Liu's simplicial depth of a point p in R^d relative to
a fixed set S of
sample points, i.e. the number of simplices generate by points in S that
contain p.

A historical review of the game, we
present old and more recent results, most of which can be found in the
seminal book of Berlekamp, Conway and Guy 1982, and highlight
geometric interpretations of these results.

The Minkowski linear combination is a fundamental operation for convex
bodies. Further basic structures on the space of convex bodies are the
topology induced by the Hausdorff metric, and the operation of the group
of rigid motions.
