  • Challenging, High-Quality Game
YINSH, like all the other games from the GIPF series, comes with unique rules and high-quality pieces. This game is quick to learn, but takes a while to master. To me, YINSH and TZAAR are the best games in the series. Truly enjoyable--nothing else like them!

  • One of the best abstract strategy games
This is such a fun abstract strategy game that doesn’t get old. The simplicity of the game functions mean you rely on your own strengths to win a game. It doesn’t get boring and is a great introduction to abstract strategy games. Also prob best in the series

  • Best 1 v 1 abstract game I've ever played.
There are several reasons why Yinsh is my all time favorite abstract strategy game: 1. Setup takes less than 5 seconds. 2. No luck is involved. It's all about skill. 3. It incorporates one of the best catch-up mechanisms I have ever seen. Your goal is to remove 3 of your rings, but each ring you remove makes you weaker. Just compare that to chess and other similar games where as soon as a player has a clear advantage, that player is almost certain to win. 4. There are very few rules and the game is extremely simple to learn. 5. It's a super dynamic game. The higher the number of pieces on the board, the greater the tension and the potential for game-changing moves. Very highly recommended! ... show more

  • Fantastic game! Similar to the other Gipf games
Fantastic game! Similar to the other Gipf games, which are all two-player abstract strategy (i.e., like chess) games. In this one your goal is to collect three rings of your color. Each player starts the game with 5 rings of their color on the board (placed however they like). By moving rings, you can place markers in your color on the board. Make a row of 5 markers of your color, and you get to collect one ring from the board. At the same time, your opponent can use their rings to change the markers you've placed to their color instead, and get their own row of 5. Because you use the rings to place/change markers, each ring you remove makes it harder to make a new row of 5, even as it gets you closer to winning. Be aware that this is not the original run of the game, so the box is different from the original. The picture on the Amazon page shows the original box art, but that is NOT what you're getting. If you're trying to get a matching set with the other 5 games be sure you get the correct printing. Beyond that, the game is the same, and though the pieces look slightly different they are still very high quality. ... show more

  • Fun and good quality
i love the feel of the rings and the circles. the board is nice with a clean image. this game is very fun and challenging to figure out

  • Different
This game works a different part of the brain. It's kind of like if chess and Othello had a baby and then that baby had a baby with lost cities then that baby went into the outback and met Go and then became best friends with Go and then decided to take a long walk in the desert alone to discover itself. Very tactical. I'm sure there's a strategy but I have yet to discover it. ... show more

  • Love this game for 2 players
consider chess, checkers, tic-tac-toe, othello all wrapped into one. We love this game, it takes some real thinking ahead and is a fast play.
