TAMSK
is a game for 2 players, which is played under permanent time
pressure. Both players start the game with 3 hourglasses and 32
rings. The hourglasses are the playing pieces; the aim is to get
rid of as many rings as possible. Each turn you must move one
of your hourglasses and turn it over; next you may play a ring
in the newly covered space. The more spaces you visit, the more
rings you will be able to play. But watch your hourglasses closely;
each one that runs out of time is lost!
TAMSK introduces time as a substantial strategic element. If you
are prepared to think fast and to play quickly without losing
your cool, then you have the right attitude. Enjoy the pressure!
