WYPS game rules

Hi everyone,

as the wyps website is down, is there anywhere where we can find the rules (for both numeric and word versions)?

Thanks!

JY.

You can download the rules from BGG.

Great, thanks! :)

Hi all,

I couldn't find it specifically written anywhere so here is a game ending

Obviously neither of the players is able to connect all 3 sides of the board, but yet the player who plays last has to forfeit (no valid move). Shouldn't this be a draw instead?

(first try to include a board here - bear with me!)

Here is the board:

[game;id:1769387;move:14]

White connected all three sides in the last move.

There is never a situation in this game that leads to a draw. If your opponent hasn't connected all 3 sides (White has in the diagram above, the long line on the right) then you can always just place a piece in an empty square.

If you run out of pieces before connecting all 3 sides, you lose the game but your opponent would have been able to win anyway by placing their pieces in the remaining spaces. When the board is full, one player will always have managed to connect.

Yes, indeed he has connected the 3 sides from the 2 corners, thanks for your answers. Phew, my brain must have been on hold when I posted the question. :)
