Punct

PUNCT is a connection game: the goal is to link two opposite sites. On your turn, you either bring a new piece into play or you move a piece that is already on the board. The more pieces you bring into play the more possibilities to have to complete a connection. But… each time you put a new piece on the board, you reveal a bit of what your plan is. The trick is to place your pieces in such a way that your opponent will expect you to do something different from what you really have in mind. As such, PUNCT is not only about making a connection, but also about misleading your opponent! Enjoy it!

PUNCT is the final game of Project GIPF, a series that consists of 6 games and a number of additional pieces, called ‘potentials’. Each game in this project is playable separately, but also in combination with GIPF. It all comes together with a system that makes winning or losing a GIPF-related game a strategic factor of the game GIPF itself. The purpose is to offer you a wide variety of possibilities, so that you will be able to decide for yourself which version of GIPF you would like to play at any given moment.
