YINSH
Sometimes you'll have the impression that there is nothing but chaos on the board. You line up a few of your pieces - and the next thing you notice is that they have changed color! The more pieces on the board, the more difficult it becomes to predict what will happen. But also the more opportunities you have! So don't worry: You'll get your chance. Just stay alert, and you'll create your own little bit of order in the chaos!

Rules summary
Objective
Standard: First to remove 3 rings wins.
Blitz: First to remove 1 ring wins.
Setup
- Each player gets 5 rings (black or white).
- Players alternate placing their rings on empty intersections.
Turns (after setup)
- Place a marker of your color inside one of your rings.
- Move that ring in a straight line (any distance) to an empty space.
- If you jump over a series of markers (any color), the ring must land in the first empty space of that line.
- All jumped-over markers are flipped to the opposite color.
- You may not jump over other rings regardless of their color.
Scoring
- If you create a row of 5 markers of your color:
- Remove those 5 markers from the board.
- Remove one of your rings from the board.
- If the pool of 51 markers runs out:
- The player with the most rings removed wins.
- If both players have removed the same number of rings, the game ends in a draw.
