Do you know what the GIPF project is?
The GIPF Project is a series of abstract combinatorial strategy games created by Kris Burm between 1997 and 2017, which pit two players against each other.
The project is named after the first game in the series, GIPF.
What the games in the project have in common is that they are played on a hexagon-shaped grid and involve a progressive reduction in terrain. Each game can be played independently, but there are special pieces called “potentials” which a player obtains by winning a game in one of the project's games, and which can be introduced into GIPF to add new features. The various games have achieved great success among strategy games, with YINSH, DVONN and ZÈRTZ winning the Mensa Select2 award.
If you are interested, you can find more information all over the Internet.
Today we are releasing DVONN, which is about piling pieces. It is played on an elongated hexagonal board, with 23 white, 23 black and 3 red DVONN-pieces. In the beginning the board is empty. The players place the pieces on empty spaces of the board, without restrictions. They place the DVONN-pieces first and their own pieces next.
Then they start stacking pieces on top of each other. A single piece may be moved 1 space in any direction, a stack of two pieces may be moved two spaces, etc. A stack must always be moved as a whole and a move must always end on top of another piece or stack. If pieces or stacks lose contact with the DVONN-pieces, they must be removed from the board. The game ends when no more moves can be made. The players put the stacks they control on top of each other and the one with the highest stack is the winner.

And that's it for this Monday!
We would like to thank Kris Burm of course, and the support from the publisher HUCH! for bringing this game to the platform. Also, let's thank EINSTEIN for developing this adaptation to BGA.
Will the other games from the GIPF project come to BGA?
Who knows what the future holds. But we are glad we have this one to start with!
Enjoy your week, and as always,
Take care and play fair!
《火山棋(DVONN)》：一款传奇的抽象游戏！
你知道 星盘众棋计划(GIPF Project) 是什么吗？
星盘众棋计划(GIPF Project)由 Kris Burm 发起，其在 1997-2017 年间创作了一系列的“双玩家对抗类”抽象策略游戏。
而这项计划也以系列中的第一款游戏《星盘棋(GIPF)》命名。
GIPF计划中所有的游戏都在随游戏逐步缩小的六边形网格上进行。每款游戏都可独立游玩，其机制却又紧密相连，玩家可以通过赢得GIPF计划里的某款游戏来获得名为“潜能”的特殊棋子，这些棋子可以引入星盘其(GIPF)中提供特殊buff。GIPF计划在策略游戏中取得了巨大成功，YINSH、DVONN 和 ZÈRTZ 赢得了门萨 Select2 奖。
想要了解更多，那就再去网上多冲会儿浪吧。
**今天！火山棋(DVONN)正式登陆BGA！**这款游戏的主题是“堆叠”。游戏在细长的六角形棋盘上进行，棋盘上有 23 个白色、23 个黑色和 3 个红色火山棋棋子。一开始棋盘是空的。玩家先放置红棋，之后先后将自己的棋子放在棋盘的空白处，整个放棋阶段不受限制。
之后，玩家需要将棋子移动并堆叠在一起。单个棋子可以向任意方向移动 1 格，两个棋子堆叠在一起可以移动 2 格，以此类推。一摞棋子必须始终作为一个整体移动，且必须落在别的棋子(堆)上。如果棋子(堆)与红色的火山棋失去接触，则必须将其从棋盘上移除。当无法再移动时，游戏结束。玩家将他们控制的棋子(堆}彼此堆叠，堆叠最高的玩家获胜。
