Right now I'm working on a senior project in combinatorial game theory - I've read Knuth's book "Surreal Numbers" and I've started reading "Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays" by Conway, Berlekamp, and Guy. Are there any other resources I should look into to get a good, solid introduction to the field? I intend to continue studying this in graduate school, so I want to have a solid start now.

I really like the book 'Positional Games' by Heftez, Krivelevich, Stojakovich & Szabo. True, there is a formal distinction between combinatorial game theory and positional games, but there is an overlap with 'Winning Ways', so it should be useful.
