Rio Grande Games Yinsh

Great game!

This is my favorite of the GIPF series of games that Ive played (although all the others are worthwhile, too). The making of a great game is one in which the rules are relatively easy to grasp, but the strategy has many levels of complexity, and that is certainly the case here. Its a very engaging game, where a single move can change the situation so drastically that thinking more than a couple moves ahead is nearly impossible. If you are a fan of abstract strategy games, I highly recommend this one.

First game I bought in this game series. Super easy to learn but a great challenge to play. Lots of fun and keeps the mind woking!

Purchased Yinsh because of the great reviews and it did not disappoint! Also my 11 year old granddaughter beat me the first 3 out of 4 games! It is quick to learn the rules but not so easy to win!

Great game. I bought it to play with my girlfriend and she loves it. Changing strategies, complex gameplay but also easy to learn. You can teach someone in five minutes and then play for years.

My wife and I love Yinsh, as its easy to learn, but hard to master. Cliché? Well, maybe, but its true. Each player, black and white, has a set of rings and places a token in their ring on their turn, then moves the ring. Once a player gets five of their color tokens in a row, the row is removed, along with one of that players rings. The first player to remove three rings of their own color wins. Of course, the more of your rings you remove, the harder it gets to make five in a row. The game starts out simply, but soon becomes very complex, especially after removing one or two rings. It requires some real strategic thinking. Anyway, its simple to learn, and only takes thirty minutes or so. Yinch is a lot of fun, and can fit into our busy schedule. Give it a try, if you like quick abstract games, this is a good one.

I think my family thought I was crazy to purchase Yinsh solely on the advice of strangers but now that weve played it, Ive been redeemed. Very easy to learn which made it appealing to my kids, but its really challenging to win which made it something my wife wanted to play. A good combo!

Really fun game. Great seller.

Really fun game! Kinda like checkers but strategic like chess! Easy to learn and play

Just played my first game, this is one of my favorites. Very complex, very abstract.
