The Manufacturer's Board Game Review of GIPF

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!

GIPF is a strategic game for two players based on a classic concept: in turns, players introduce one piece into play until achieving four-in-a-row. Players then remove their row and capture any of their opponent's pieces which extend that row. This principle of capturing pieces creates each time again completely changes situations on the board. The purpose is to form successive rows of at least 4 pieces, until the opponent has no piece left to bring into play.

GIPF is a pure and challenging game that combines classic systems with completely new elements. Full of surprises and offering unlimited possibilities, it will appeal to occasional players as well as to fanatic gamers. We dare to hope that whoever starts playing GIPF, will play it for a long time.
