Rio Grande Games Yinsh

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.

Great game!

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.

Very nice piece strategic board game for beginners.

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.

This is a very simple game, but contains depth. High replayability and the game mechanics put both players on the same playing field.

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.

Love this game! You can really create your own strategy.

Really fun game. Great seller.

Reasonably easy to learn, but complex enough to challenge skill development for all ages.
