Description

[Edit] [History]

DVONN is played on an elongated hexagonal board, with 23 white, 23 black and 3 red DVONN-pieces. In the beginning the board is empty. The players first place the DVONN-pieces on the board and next their own pieces. Then they start stacking pieces on top of each other. A single piece may be moved 1 space in any direction, a stack of two pieces may moved two spaces, etc. A stack must always be moved as a whole and a move must always end on top of another piece or stack. If pieces or stacks lose contact with the DVONN-pieces, they must be removed from the board. The game ends when no more moves can be made. The players put the stacks they control on top of each other and the one with the highest stack is the winner.

This game is part of project GIPF.

Winner of the 2002 International Gamers Award.
Won Games Magazine Game of the Year award in 2003.

0 DVONN scoresheets
DVONN_ScoreSheet.xls
I made these scoresheets to record my DVONN games with my usual gaming buddy. Each 8.5 by 11 landscape page accomodates 3 games. The first set of columns ("chess style" moves 1-25) are for Phase I. There is a special bolded block at the start for the DVONN piece setup and a grayed out space at the bottom for black's move 25 -- simulating a pass required by the rules. The second set of columns are for Phase II and are slightly wider to better accomodate two move locations. The header fields should be self explanatory -- "T/C" is for whatever Time Control may be in use and the spaces above this can be used for players' ratings. Enjoy.
