Zertz
is a fast, dynamic game for 2 players. It is played with 5 white,
7 grey and 9 black marbles on a board that gets smaller and smaller.
The aim is to capture either 3 white, 4 grey or 5 black marbles,
or 2 marbles of each color. To capture you must jump with a marble
over another marble. Sounds easy? Not when you know that both
players play with the same marbles. And because the board gets
smaller with every move, you and your opponent are forced towards
a tense situation in which any move could be the crucial one...
So, be careful: if you create a trap for your opponent at the
wrong moment, you may well face the consequences yourself!
Recommended
to those that enjoy well designed abstract games.
