About This Game

Part of the GIPF Project. Flip rings and form rows of 5 to score. Elegant and deep.

How to Play

  1. Players alternate placing 5 rings each on the intersections of the board
  2. On your turn, place a marker in one of your rings, then move that ring
  3. Rings move in straight lines, jumping over markers (which flip to the other color)
  4. When you create a row of 5 markers in your color, remove them and one of your rings
  5. Removing a ring is your goal — but fewer rings means fewer moves
  6. First player to remove 3 of their rings wins
  7. If a row of 5 is formed for both players simultaneously, the moving player resolves first
