The GIPF Project is a series of seven abstract strategy games by designer Kris Burm.
The series is named after the first game, GIPF. All the games take place on some form of hexagonal board. Each of the games, including GIPF, may be played individually. When playing a standard game of GIPF the game is played with normal pieces and GIPF pieces.
However, the series also allows players to link the GIPF game to the other games in the series or even to any game at all.

But they could decide just as well to link the ZÈRTZ potential to a coin flip and the DVONN potential to a dice roll. Now, when playing the GIPF game with potentials, they can introduce potential pieces whenever they like (according to the playing rules). As soon as they want to use the special...
