The problem here is related to concatenating along the game axis. We use pandas to concatenate coordinate variables with their data saved as a pandas.Index (like the game variable), but Pandas (and NumPy) does not have a dtype for variable-length strings, so this ends up getting converted to dtype=object.

We could probably add something to fix the dtype back after doing the concatenation and/or concatenate string indexes with NumPy instead of pandas.
