Which boardgame, War on Terror or Skirrid, involves translucent tiles?
Skirrid (board game) Skirrid is a board game designed for 2–6 players. It is played on a 19×19 square board which is divided into two areas: a central diamond (coloured white) and the four corner triangles (coloured black) that remain. One player has 18 translucent tiles made of clear plastic, the other of smoked plastic. These tiles come in six different shapes, each with their own name:
TAMSK TAMSK is the second board game in the "GIPF" Project of six abstract strategy games, and was published in 1998. Players move sand hourglass timers and drop plastic rings around spaces on a hexagonal board in an attempt to limit their opponent's moves. Each player starts the game with 32 rings, and the player with the fewest remaining rings at the end of the game is the winner. The game is unique among the "GIPF" Project games in having time as a central game component, and the manner in which time is used is possibly unique among board games in general.
