GIPF
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 completely changed 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 strategic game for two players based on a classic concept: In turns, players introduce one piece into play until achieving four-in a-row.

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 not only the name of a game, but of a project as well. This project concerns a group of games and extra pieces that will follow step by step. Each game of the project will be playable either separately, or, by means of extra pieces, in combination with GIPF. It concerns a system that makes winning or losing GIPF-related games a strategic factor of the game GIPF itself.
This game is part of project GIPF.

What the community says about GIPF
P&P 4-0 100%
Juego de reglas sencillas que esconde mucho....las jugadas maestras del oponente son, en ocasiones, difíciles de visualizar. Una partida llama a otra partida. A game with simple rules hiding a lot of strategy. The opponent's master moves are not easy to visualize. You will normally play more than once to this game.
