Rio Grande Games Yinsh

This game is definitely better than Checkers! Ive played at least 30 matches and would play more if I could get others to play it with me more often. Pieces are quality, but they come in plastic bags that cant be resealed. I put the pieces in cloth bags instead. It adds a little character to the feel of the game. No complaints. 5 of 5.

Makes you think moves ahead,a nice challenge.

Enjoy this group of games very much, have GIPF, PUNCT, DVONN, TZAAR, And our favorite, ZERTZ. I only would like to get a copy of TAMSK, great game but very hard to find.

Fantastic game, which is easy to learn, but difficult to master.

Im a fan of Go, so this seemed like a great game to try it. It totally is! There is a lot of reply value, and I still dont understand the best strategy. This is complex enough to make you think, but quick enough to play w/someone new and not thoroughly bore them w/hard thinking involved in Go.

I love it. Its fun to play.

My favorite abstract game! This isnt a total brain burner but it does require strategy and a bit of pre-planning to win. This goes over well with ages 9 and up.

Chips and pieces are beautiful and solid. I like the weight in my hand. Game is the easy to learn, lifetime to master type. My new favorite game.

Wonderful abstract game! If you thought checkers was fun as a kid, but now is boring and chess is intriguing but isnt worth the lifestyle commitment to get good, Yinsh is for you. This has enough twists and changes in fate and things to pay attention to that the game remains very interesting. The rivalry with my wife has gotten pretty humorous and intense. As a side note, the box for this game is way bigger than it needs to be. If you want to conserve space and dont care about the box, you can get by without it since theres a bag for all the pieces other than the board.

Its easy to learn, fast to play, but itll take a while to master! Really solid game pieces, too.
