Rio Grande Games Yinsh

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!

But im not good at it!

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.

Makes you think moves ahead,a nice challenge.

Fun game that is kind of a combination of checkers and chess. Game takes about 30 minutes , so great brain break at lunch at work, or at home anytime

By far the most played game that we have. We have over 60 board games and this one has been the one played the most. We like to play it on teams of 2v2 just like Sequence. Epic game!

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.

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.

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!

There are several reasons why Yinsh is my all time favorite abstract strategy game: 1. Setup takes less than 5 seconds. 2. No luck is involved. Its all about skill. 3. It incorporates one of the best catch-up mechanisms I have ever seen. Your goal is to remove 3 of your rings, but each ring you remove makes you weaker. Just compare that to chess and other similar games where as soon as a player has a clear advantage, that player is almost certain to win. 4. There are very few rules and the game is extremely simple to learn. 5. Its a super dynamic game. The higher the number of pieces on the board, the greater the tension and the potential for game-changing moves. Very highly recommended!
