Stack and capture on a shrinking board where disconnected pieces vanish. GIPF project elegance.
Vibe's take
shrinking board tension, stacking strategy, pure abstract, spatial elegance, two-player duel
Who it's for
Abstract strategy lovers who want a unique board-shrinking mechanic with deep stacking play.
Not for you if…
You need theme or variety. This is the same elegant puzzle every game, solved differently.
Stack pieces on a shrinking board in this two-player abstract from the GIPF project. Red DVONN pieces act as anchors; any piece or stack not connected to a DVONN piece is removed from the game. Move a piece or stack by jumping exactly as many spaces as the stack is tall, landing on another piece to capture it. The board contracts as isolated groups are removed, creating an ever-tightening spatial puzzle. Whoever controls the tallest stacks at game end wins. Pure abstract elegance with genuine strategic depth.
