GIPF is a Project GIPF is not only the name of a game, but of a project as well.
The intention behind this project is to create a wide variety of possibilities and a growing number of components, so that players will be able to compose themselves which version of GIPF they would like to play at any given moment.
Players of GIPF represent this potential; the pieces of the winner symbolize the cause of the Big Bang, the beginning of everything--and of the world as it continually comes into existence from that point on.

 Gipf Review
Gipf resembles the origins of continents, Tamsk is a desert, Zertz a polar ocean, Dvonn a volcanic landscape, and Yinsh a weather front crossing an open ocean.
In the Gipf Project, the more your respect your opponent's strength, indeed, the more you build his or her strength, the more you gain as well.
The Gipf Project is a twenty-first century approach to abstract games, deriving the best of traditional games of alignment, capture, territory, and reversals, and delivering them in original and challenging ways, reflecting an ecological, emergent systems worldview.

 ZERTZ
The project is a series of unrelated games, linked together through the original game, GIPF and a series of potentials.
GIPF is a very deep abstract game where players slide pieces onto the board, attempting to make lines of 4 and capture opponents' pieces.
The GIPF project logo is very much a mark of originality and quality in my eyes, though that same originality means that different games in the project may well appeal to different audiences.

 GIPF Revisited
The GIPF pieces are very powerful - in the basic game, players lose most of their influence on the board when they make a line.
GIPF is not just a game; it is the start of a project; Kris Burm intends to produce a series of six games, each of which can be played separately, or in conjunction with GIPF.
All of the potentials in the project will work in much the same way; players will sit down to play GIPF according to the tournament rules, but after they finish playing GIPF pieces, they play loaded pieces (a loaded piece is a normal piece with one of the potentials on top).

 No loan to !Uri !Khubis, yet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Government Institutions Pension Fund (GIPF), Steve Katjiuanjo, reacted strongly to a report in the Economist which stated that the GIPF is the main financier of the troubled abattoir.
The GIPF granted them a loan in a transparent way, after the project had been properly assessed, as is done with any other institution that borrows money from GIPF, he said while the GIPF CEO, Mr Primus Hango maintained that the GIPF did, in fact not grant !Uri !Khubis a loan.
Shareholders approached the GIPF as an institution and not me, personally,” he said adding that the Economist appears to “have a disease with !Uri !Khubis” because reports on the abattoir have always been negative while other newspapers report on the positive side of the abattoir.

 BGG Thread: User Review
As we all know, GIPF is a name which represents both the series of abstract strategy games that the designer Kris Burm is making, and the first game of that series.
When announcing the release of YINSH, Mr.Burm said(with his unique delicacy) that YINSH is not the fifth but sixth of the series, and that the whole project will be complete a circle of games(based on their similarities of game mechanism) when he finished the missing fifth game.
GIPF pieces provide very obvious targets of attack and defense, which makes the game all the more exciting.

 RPGnet: Review of GIPF (Printable Version)
GIPF is the first in a series (titled, interestingly enough, the GIPF Project) of abstract strategy games designed by Kris Brum.
Players may continue by adding GIPF or basic pieces as long as they have pieces, but once a player places a basic piece, no more GIPF pieces may be placed by that player.
The rulebook discusses some of the goals of the GIPF Project as a whole, which includes, at the time of this writing, four additional games: TAMSK, ZERTZ, DVONN, and YINSH (as an aside, the series will eventually total six games, the newest of which is due out by Holiday 2005).

The project, when complete, will consist of a total of 6 stand-alone games, with Gipf as the main title.
These potentials can be played into a game of Gipf, and when activated, allow a specific action native to the game from where it came.
Furthur adding tension: Before a game of Gipf is started, the players agree on the number of potentials allowed, as well as the number of challenges allowed.

The tiles are used to assemble the board; the marbles are in a pool.

 Zertz Review
One of the more interesting game projects to emerge in the past several years is Kris Burm's Gipf project.
Eventually, when the Gipf project is completed (six games are envisioned), one could imagine using six different potentials, pieces with different powers linked to specific games.
If this project intrigues you it is worth your while to pick up all three games in the series.

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.
I started my Project GIPF collection when ZERTZ was new, and I've loved them all.
I've enjoyed all the GIPF games to date and was wondering if Kris Brum could maintain the standard, and the good news is I think he has, delivering another very fine 2 player abstract.

There is the potential of several GIPF pieces being present during an alignment and the player has a variety of choices.
If there were, say, four GIPF pieces in an alignment, a player could choose to remove all four, or three, or two, or one, or none.
And these choices can make up a large variety, choking a potential selection menu if they were present in a single move(possibly straining some of the coding limits of the engine).

What you get with Gipf is a bunch of interconnected abstract strategy games, each of which have their own quirks but are tied together with Gipf and the expansion sets.

It's called Project Gutenberg, and apparently it's the brainchild of Michael Hart, some guy who decided that famous and important texts should be available to people for free.
The games are a series of games called Project: GIPF, and they truly are a strategists dream.
GIPF was the first game in the project, and I had a version of GIPF on my computer I used to run through Virtual PC, it was good fun, and keep me busy for too long!
