Gipf
From the Publisher...
A deceptively simple abstract game that will challenge you and your friends. The rules are easy to learn, but as in many games, you will find the strategies challenging. Players take turns adding pieces to the board by moving them from the edge. Create rows of four to capture your opponent's pieces and and return your pieces to your supply. The game ends when one player has no pieces left to play. His opponent wins!

| This abstract is first in the Project GIPF series and a very solid, complex game. Players begin by placing GIPF pieces on the board as stacks of two normal pieces. Once a player chooses to play normal pieces alone, no further GIPF pieces may ever be played. One looses when either all GIPF pieces of one's color are eliminated or no further move may be made. The game is played on a hexagonal board with a piece-pushing mechanism: players place pieces around the periphery, forcing other pieces along their respective lines. Any line of four pieces of a color will be returned to a cache, while opponent's pieces along that line are struck from the game. I hear other games in the Project may integrate with one another, producing one absurd mega-abstract. |

| For anyone who wants an alternate to chess, GIPF (and the rest of its namesake series) is a very welcome addition to any game collection. |
