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!

Pure abstract for 2. Very nice idea, deep game. Pieces are quite cool, and the game is fun.

Players: 2.
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.
