| | TAMSK |
 | | TAMSK is a fairly simple two player abstract at heart; it's played on a hexagonal grid, each player has three pieces, and takes turns moving a piece to an adjacent space. | | | TAMSK is part of the GIPF project, which means that as well as being a fantastic game in its own right, it can be played in conjunction with GIPF, but that's another story. | | | After each move, the player drops a ring over the piece, and the idea is to get rid of all your rings first - or a majority of your rings by the end of the game. |

| | Funagain Games: TAMSK |
| | TAMSK is a game for 2 players, which is played under permanent time pressure. | | | General concensus seems to be that TAMSK is the least of the first 4 GIPF games, and though I'd agree with that in respect of strategic depth it doesn't tell the whole story. | | | Both players start the game with 3 hourglasses and 32 rings. |

| | Special: Project GIPF |
| | TAMSK is the only strategy game which uses time as a tactical element; your pieces are egg-timers, which die if they run out of sand. | | | Some potentials were included in TAMSK and ZERTZ, to give players a feel for the combined game, but for maximum chaos, buy the potential sets. | | | Pieces are not owned by either player, so it is vitally important to stay a move ahead of your opponent, or you may find yourself caught in your own trap. |

| | A Dark and Quiet Room: What's the deal with GIPF? |
| | So, each game can function on its own but, with the potentials, they can also be welded together into an ubergame, requiring dexterity of mind as you slide from game to game. | | | To give another example, in TAMSK you move pieces around the board, dropping rings on each space as you pass. | | | Each potential has a special power that is thematically related to the game that it represents. |

| | Gipf Review |
| | Each game's potential reflects its seminal gaming characteristic, so a Zertz piece jumps, a Dvonn piece can form a tower, and a Tamsk piece when moved to the center allows you to go again. | | | Zertz is a highly tactical, plan ahead game of compulsory capture. | | | Tamsk is much more familiar territorial game in which the element of chaos is introduced via time management (the hourglass is running over!). |
