Reply to this topic Return to forumThe newest game of the Gipf-Project is Pünct. Has anyone here tried it? How good is it compared to the other Gipf-games?
You can have a taste of it at the very good site :
It seems good, complexe, psychological but the effect on the casual hex player is not known…
Also play realtime Punct at http://boardspace.net/
there is a robot opponent available.
My comment on Punct (where i play lousy, even worse than i play Dvonn): It's a nice game, although what discourages me are the rather complicated rules, I definitely prefer games with simple rules like hex, breakthrough, amazons.
But what I really do NOT like in all Gipf games are the names!
My, my, are these names or tongue-scramblers? I mean, listen to them - or try to utter them fast: Gipf, Dvonn, Tamsk, Punct, Zertz.
Is there anybody with a different opinion?
Just my 2 cents opinion, and I feel I should apologize in advance to the creators of the games. I do like the games.
