| "GIPF" Abstract Strategy Board Game Description:
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 completely changes situations on the board. The purpose is to form successive rows of at least four 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.
In addition to being a great game on its own, the GIPF game can be enhanced with additional game pieces, called potentials, for a more advanced game-playing experience. These additional game pieces are added to the GIPF game by winning the game pieces (potentials) in other games in the GIPF series of games.
