Rio Grande Games GipfGIPF is a two player abstract strategy board game that is part of the GIPF project by game designer Kris Burm. The game is played on a hexagonal board with 37 spaces and 24 pieces, which are placed on the board in a specific order. The objective of the game is to remove your opponent's pieces or block them from being able to move their pieces. The game has a unique rule that allows players to voluntarily place their own pieces in the line of fire,
