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.
YINSH is an abstract strategy board game by game designer Kris Burm. It is the fifth game to be released in the GIPF Project.

However, an entry in his blog on 19 June 2005 suggests that he is reconsidering this.
