GIPF is an abstract game by Kris Burm. It is the first game of the series also named GIPF which consists of eight games.

GIPF is a strategic game for two players based on a classic concept: In turns, players introduce one piece into play until achieving four-in a-row. Players then remove their row and capture any of their opponent's pieces which extend that row. This principle of capturing pieces creates completely changed situations on the board. The purpose is to form successive rows of at least four pieces, until the opponent has no piece left to bring into play.

Thank you for continuing to work on the Project Gipf series, excited to have another one to play! Will Matrix Gipf and Gipf both be options or is the plan to have them be separate games?

MATRX GIPF will be a separate game and mostly likely come last.

Great! I don't know the game, even though it's a very famous title in the abstract genre. Looking forward to trying it out.

Thanks for your work!

I'd love to be an alpha tester, too, if possible.
