ZÈRTZ
Abstract Strategy

ZÈRTZ

In ZÈRTZ, the third addition to the GIPF Project, players compete to acquire sets of multi-colored balls. This is mostly accomplished by jumping one ball over one or more others, Checkers-style, on a hex board. A player's turn consists of either jumping (which can be forced) or placing any color ball on the board and removing an empty space from the edge of the board. In this manner, the play space continually shrinks, giving the endgame an almost claustrophobic feel.

As always with this set of games, very simple rules, deep thoughts involved. Beautiful components.

Juego abtracto de la serie del proyecto GIPFT. Sencillo de jugar y rápido de explicar. Consiste en una serie de esferas y soportes. ME gusta, pero menos que el TZaar. Me lo regalaron por mi cumple Patri y Javi el 31/07/09 Vendido a damosan en las CLBSK2012 (mayo) por 15€. Me dio pena, porque el juego me gustaba y más tratándose de un regalo, pero no había forma de que viera mesa.
