Rio Grande Games Yinsh

A challenging & quick abstract- probably one of the best. I enjoy Chess, Go, & a number of the GIPF games, but Yinsh is probably one of the easiest to get people to play. Good fun!

But im not good at it!

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!

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

Fun game! I havent played the others in the series. But Im now considering those too. The board can look chaotic sometimes, but I guess thats part of the fun.

I love all these gipf games...I have zertz ....tzaar...and dvonn too...these are great abstract strategy games...I dont like mindless games like monopoly where you just roll dice and dont think...I like games where you think ahead 4 or 5 moves

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.

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.

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!
