Zee, you should really consider an overview video that talks about all 7 games in the Gipf series. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to see that.
Zee, this was probably my favorite review I've seen from you, and I don't know if I ever intend on playing this line of games! Well spoken, thoughtful points, great formatting. I felt engaged the entire time. Great job, man!
In your video review about Dvonn you reviewed it having in mind a "setup", instead of a placement phase which is part of the game. How about making an updated video about Dvonn at some point???
Zee, will you do a review of Zertz aswell at some? So far I liked your reviews of the GIPF project games and I even bought 3 of them thanks to your reviews :)
this one seems to have the most depth and cleanest design after looking at the gipf games. Yinsh to me just looks like reversi and adding a little bit on top
Well, Yinsh is similar to Reversi, but that "little bit" added on top makes a huge difference. The clever and subtle design of that game gives it a huge amount of strategic depth that makes it far more interesting and engaging than Reversi.
you mentioned you cannot move a smaller stack to a higher stack, but you're putting the white on top of the 4 stacks? is it because unclaimed ones are those you cant move to a higher stack? but claimed chips can be moved?
shame that this game uses the same shape pieces as GIPF, when all the other games in the series has had unique ones. Even DVONN and ZERTZ, which both have rings have different looking rings
Red and Green pieces.......colorblind gamer says UGH. Yellow-Clear-Striped-Spotted-Silver-Gold There are many other color combos to choose from besides green and red. Why eliminate roughly 10% of your audience right off the bat?

Yes!

Much like in the Pack-O-Games series, I really wish Zee gave the names and his personal ratings for all 7 games in the series.
1. Tzaar 2.Yinsh 3.Lyngk 4.Dvonn
Some of the most beautiful abstract games out there.
I know it's a little thing, but I really like the camera angle in this video. Also love the videos in general. Keep up the good work!
In a recent Dutch interview Kris said he still has some ideas, so I'd say there's more to come.
Fantastic review Zee, thank you!

A wild piece is passive so the move at 8:28 is illegal, isn't it? You can't stack it on top of another piece, I think.
you mentioned you cannot move a smaller stack to a higher stack, but you're putting the white on top of the 4 stacks? is it because unclaimed ones are those you cant move to a higher stack? but claimed chips can be moved?
claimed ones can! exactly!
Can wilds be considered a claim color?
no and you can't move them you can only stack on top of them.
Out of curiosity what are the other abstract games from this creator?
Just got Yinsh, and it's one of my favorite abstract games I've ever played.
Mister Zee, Which ones are your 2 favorites?
1. Tzaar 2.Yinsh 3.Lyngk 4.Dvonn
Zee is awesome

Tzaar is also like Lyngk, just a little bit thinner. But i like it, that way it is just much more compatible
Please do Avalam.
