Abstract Strategy

YINSH

In YINSH, the players each start with five rings on the board. Every time a ring is moved, it leaves a marker behind. Markers are white on one side and black on the other. When markers are jumped over by a ring they must be flipped, so their color is constantly changing. The players must try to form a row of five markers with their own color face up. If a player succeeds in doing so, he removes one of his rings as an indication that he has formed such a row. The first player to remove three of his rings wins the game. In other words, each row you make brings you closer to victory-but also makes you weaker, because you have one fewer ring to play with. Very tricky!

Uno de los mejores juegos abstractos que tengo. Ligero y corto (se juega en unos 20 minutos) pero al mismo tiempo intenso y entretenido One of the best abstract games I have. A light and short game (it is played in about 20 minutes), but, at the same time, intense and entertaining.
