Grid Movement

Each player represents the leadership of a 17th century Scottish clan looking to expand its territory and its wealth. The success of your clan depends on your ability to make the correct decision at the opportune time, be it by establishing a new pasture for your livestock, growing grain for the production of whisky, selling your goods on the various markets, or investing in the cultivation of special places such as lochs and castles.

Glen More offers a unique turn mechanism. Players take territory tiles from a rondell. Picking a tile has not only influence on the actions you get by the surrounding tiles in your territory, it also determines when you'll have your next turn (and how many turns you will have in the game). But having a lot of turns is not always the best strategy for a successful chieftain.

Glen More is 6 in the Alea medium box series, and is rated a 4 on the alea complexity level.

This includes three expansions for GIPF.

Contents:

6 YINSH-potentials for each player
6 PÜNCT-potentials for each player
3 extra basic pieces for each player

See the project GIPF wiki page for more details on the potentials' powers.

The YINSH-potential can slide off its piece, any number of empty spots, for sneaky deployment. The PÜNCT-potential can land atop certain other pieces (different ones than the DVONN-potential), changing their color, or possibly introducing more GIPF-pieces mid-game!

GIPF Set 3 contains 6 white and 6 black YINSH-potentials, 6 white and 6 black PÜNCT-potentials, and 3 white and 3 black extra basic pieces to play "Ultimate GIPF". For the very brave amongst players: that is GIPF with 21 basic pieces and all 5 different kinds of potentials.

This is probably the last part of Project GIPF - after all those years players can combine all games :)

First product of cooperation of Kris Burm with company SMART.

This includes two expansions for GIPF and one for ZÈRTZ.

Contents:

6 DVONN-potentials for each player
6 ZÈRTZ-potentials for each player
12 ZÈRTZ rings

See the project GIPF wiki page for more details on the potentials' powers.

This expansion can integrate DVONN and ZÈRTZ with the original GIPF game. Additionally, it contains ring pieces to extend the ZÈRTZ board into new configurations.

The ZÈRTZ-potential has the power to jump other pieces. The DVONN-potential has the power to land on top of other pieces, changing their color.

This is an expansion for GIPF.

Contents:

6 TAMSK-potentials for each player

See the project GIPF wiki page for more details on the potentials' powers.

The TAMSK-potential is the first additional piece of project GIPF. It is named after the game TAMSK and offers new ways to play GIPF. The TAMSK-potential can grant its owner an extra move during a turn.

A clarifying note from designer Kris Burm about the GIPF Project expansion Set #1 and the TAMSK potentials included with the TAMSK game:

As you maybe know, enclosed in the TAMSK box are 3 white and 3 black TAMSK-potentials. These are samples. You need a minimum of 3 potentials of each color to get a feeling of how they change a game of GIPF. The GIPF Project Expansion Set #1 contains 12 TAMSK-potentials; 6 potentials per color is the standard number to play with. The kit is meant to give players who like playing with the potentials the possibility to get more potentials without needing to buy a second game of TAMSK. That aside, it is also meant to serve those who want to find out what potentials are all about without needing to purchase TAMSK.

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 each time again completely changed situations on the board. The purpose is to form successive rows of at least 4 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.
