DVONN - GIPF Project Game 4
 
DVONN is a stacking game. It is played on an elongated hexagonal board, with 23 white, 23 black and 3 red DVONN-pieces. The players must try to control as many pieces as possible by building stacks, preferably by jumping on top of there opponent's pieces.
While doing so, pieces and stacks must remain linked to the red DVONN pieces. If not, they are out of the game! When no more moves can be made, each player puts his stcks on top of each other. The player with the highest stack wins the game!
Just like GIPF, DVONN picks up the tradition again of just a board with pieces on it. No fuzz; the game in itself is tricky enough. The higher a stack, the more valuable it is, but the less mobile it is, too. With that in mind: watch out for the red DVONN-pieces: they may be moved! The outcome of a game of DVONN can completely change right up to the very last move.
DVONN is the fourth game in the GIPF Project (GIPF is the first, TAMSK is the second, ZERTZ is the third, YINSH is the fifth and there are more to come). 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. This system is based upon the use of "potentials". Each game of the project introduces its own new potential into GIPF.
