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.
