 YINSH Game Review & Game Information - Board Game Ratings
YINSH, a BoardGameRatings.com Recommended 2-Player Game, is the fifth release in Kris Burm's GIPF series--a project to design six new abstract strategy games for two players.
The most intriguing aspect of the game is that as a player gets closer to winning, it becomes more difficult to win because some of his pieces are removed from the board.
Yinsh has good components, is easy to learn, and can be played in just fifteen minutes.

 Gipf Review
Yinsh is a wildly flamboyant offensive game, but subtle defensive moves will thwart the overly ambitious player.
This is true, but my guess is that most aficionados of this series play at least several of the games, and their knowledge of multiple games enhances their enjoyment of the individual games.
Similarly, in Gipf and Yinsh, and to some extent in the other games, too, you come to recognize configurations and arrangements of pieces that are elusively familiar.

 Gameblog: Helcon III - Saturday
Maybe I've played more Zèrtz than Magnus has has played Yinsh, but I think Zèrtz is more difficult game.
After that, I was kind of without a game and picked up Yinsh, interested to take a look at the only Gipf game I've never tried.
I think Yinsh is a pretty good introduction to Gipf games, as it was fairly easy to play.

 Funagain Games: YINSH
Yinsh includes a multi-language rulebook like the others, and the packaging and style are consistent with the other games as well.
In fact, the Yinsh board looks very similar to Gipf and the goal, like Gipf, is to create lines of five in a row which get removed once created.
There are two basic pieces in the Yinsh game: rings and markers.

 YINSH
YINSH is a very delicate game, and a small difference on the board, such as an extra (seemingly) harmless piece in the middle of nowhere, may call for an entirely different line of play.
I am totally unqualified to talk about Yinsh's strategical depth, but I note that a game might last about as long as a chess game, in terms of the number of moves played.
Thus the success of the Chameleon style this time by no means shows that YINSH is a simple or "solved" game; on the other hand, it proves the very opposite, that YINSH is really at the very pinnacle among modern-day abstract games, being one with very simple rules yet deep strategy and infinite variety.

 Yinsh: I play the game
When playing YINSH, you must be aware of that fact, especially regarding the aim of the game.
Less obvious, but much more significant once you've noticed it, is the "ambiguity" that you can find in both games: what can be the right thing to do in one situation, might very well be the worst thing to do in another situation.
If both players have removed the same number of rings, the game ends in a draw.

 YINSH - GIPF Project Game 5
YINSH is a "tempestuous" game, played with 5 white rings, 5 black rings and 51 markers.
The Project concerns a system that makes it possible to combine games - not only the games of the project itself, but literally any game or challenge.

Each player has 5 rings of their colour, which are placed on the board at the start of the game.
YINSH is played using rings and stones (see the picture to the left).

The other games are Yinsh, Dvonn, Zerts and Tamsk.
Each of these games is abstract, fair and has no 'chance' in them.
It is an abstract, strategic game for two players and the game is very well balanced.

 mertner.com/allan » Blog Archive » GIPF and DVONN World Championship
The only reason I say this is that YINSH pulls the leader back somewhat and makes for a more even contest.
My wife will only play YINSH and ZERTZ, although she’s giving up on ZERTZ as our skill levels separate.
Regarding your comment about getting significat others to play, I agree.

 Chris Brooks - Thursday, 10 February 2005
I have played Dvonn quite a bit and love it; Yinsh looks even more interesting to me. All of the games of Yinsh I've seen tend to be close with quite a bit of tension - it seems like a game where you can come from behind and win.
Dave and I were playing the Game of Thrones CCG when Doug arrived (Jacob was reading).
Player elimination begets side games, so Eric and Jacob take each other on in Yinsh.

YINSH is a 2 player game where the first player to remove 3 of his 5 rings wins the game.
B8 Pacific Victory is an exciting, fast-paced game simulating the Pacific Theater of WWII.
A ring is removed when 5 markers are formed in a row.

I'd be willing to try it again to see if the defense player really has an advantage.
I look forward to playing this game again soon.

 Yinsh
De spellen uit de reeks zijn unaniem goed ontvangen, en hetzelfde geldt weer voor Yinsh.
Iedere speler start met vijf ringen, die aan het begin op het speelveld geplaatst worden.
Yinsh kan ik iedereen aanraden, zowel liefhebbers van abstracte spellen als diegenen die minder met dit genre op hebben.

 Jeux2Rody - Fiche de jeu
On s'aperçoit donc que YINSH s'intègre parfaitement dans le projet GIPF.
On retrouve dans YINSH ce qui fait la profondeur de DVONN : plus on se rapproche de la victoire, plus on est fragilisé vis à vis de son adversaire.
S'inspirant à la fois des Dames et du Reversi, YINSH est à la fois plus profond et plus intéressant que ses deux principales inspirations.

 Yinsh
Yinsh is the sixth game in Kris Burm's Project Gipf (chronologically it is fifth but it is intended to be the last game in the cycle started by the game Gipf).
It has been adapted for Richard's PBEM server by Lyman Hurd with the support and encouragement of the inventor.

 [No title]
Although one probably has to play much more than I did to get a true feeling of the depth of the games, I found Yinsh to be a better game than any of its precursors (pun intended).
Who can blame them, since two of them (Dvonn and Zertz) represents their only wins?
It would have been a severe injustice for this to have not won the Mensa Select award.
