	There is a way to connect the different games through the use of potentials, these can be found in the other games or in [gameid=5202], [gameid=5117], and [gameid=26003]. Potentials are game pieces used during a normal GIPF game and have special powers. One way to play with them is to require you to win their corresponding game in order to activate the powers, but as with all the games in this series, [designerid=244] suggests several "levels" of play, and this is just one of them.

		+
		+	=== What do the potentials do? ===
		+
		+	First and foremost, the potentials are all expansions to [gameid=527 GIPF]. Agree whether to use them, like you would any expansion to any game. A common misconception is that using the potentials means you must interrupt your game of [gameid=527 GIPF] to play a game of TAMSK in order to see if you can use the TAMSK-potential (for instance). That is merely one option for how to use the potentials - and the most advanced and slow-to-play option, at that. The most practical application of the potentials is merely to use them as a simple [gameid=527 GIPF]-enhancement. That being said, there are several things to understand about how you employ potentials.
		+
		+	==== In general ====
		+
		+	* The normal pieces you use to play [gameid=527 GIPF] are called '''basic pieces'''. These are the only pieces you use in the ''basic rules'' of [gameid=527 GIPF].
		+	* Any piece you put atop a basic piece to grant it optional powers is called a '''potential'''.
		+	* A basic piece with a potential on it is called a '''loaded piece'''.
		+	** You assemble a loaded piece before it goes onto the board.
		+	** You may not put basic pieces into play until all your loaded pieces are in play.
		+	** Only basic pieces '''return''' to play. In other words, a loaded piece that is captured (by you or your opponent) loses its potential ability.
		+	** Used and lost potentials leave the game.
		+	** When a loaded piece is part of a row that will be captured, you may leave it on the board. (Generally, you will want to take your opponent's loaded pieces, though.)
		+	** The exception to that rule is that a row of four or more loaded pieces must be broken by removing at least one loaded piece from it.
		+	* Once a potential is no longer part of a loaded piece, it is treated like a basic piece - except that it leaves the game upon capture.
		+
		+	==== Potential powers ====
		+
		+	# The '''GIPF-piece''' is introduced in the ''standard rules'' for [gameid=527 GIPF], and carries with it an extra requirement for survival: You must also keep at least one of your GIPF-pieces (uncovered) in play. Its composition is two basic pieces, one atop the other. Let's think of it as a basic piece with a "'''GIPF-potential'''". In those [unofficial] terms, a GIPF-piece has two special powers:
		+	** A row of four GIPF-pieces may remain on the board, unlike the other loaded pieces.
		+	** If you capture your own GIPF-piece, instead of the "GIPF-potential" leaving the game, it returns to your supply as a humble basic piece. So, that means you get back both basic pieces that form the GIPF-piece.
		+	* The "'''TAMSK-piece'''", when it is pushed into the center spot, grants its owner an extra move on her turn. Its owner takes the potential off the piece, and moves the TAMSK-potential into play.
		+	* The '''ZÃˆRTZ-potential''' may leap off of a "ZÃˆRTZ-piece" over one or more adjacent pieces, landing in the first open spot still in play. This counts as a whole move.
		+	* The '''DVONN-potential''' may step off of a "DVONN-piece" onto an adjacent piece of your opponent: either a basic piece, or one with your opponent's DVONN-potential on top of it. This counts as a whole move.
		+	** If a capture occurs in which the top DVONN-potential does not match the color of the components below it, strip the DVONN-potential off the top of that particular piece, and leave the rest of the piece.
		+	* The '''PÃœNCT-potential''' may step off of a "PÃœNCT-piece" onto an adjacent piece of your opponent: either a GIPF-piece, or one with your opponent's PÃœNCT-potential on top of it. This counts as a whole move.
		+	** If the PÃœNCT-potential steps onto your opponent's GIPF-piece, remove the PÃœNCT-potential from the game, and then cover the GIPF-piece with either a basic piece from your supply, or a new GIPF-piece constructed from two basic pieces from your supply.
		+	* The '''YINSH-potential''' may "slide" off of a "YINSH-piece" along a straight line, traversing one or more '''empty''' spaces. This counts as a whole move.

-	TAMSK was replaced in '''Project GIPF''' by TZAAR, with its debut at Spiel 2007. The correct order of the project now remains somewhat unclear.	+	There is a way to connect the different games through the use of potentials, these can be found in [gameid=5202] and [gameid=5117]. Potentials are game peices used during a normal GIPF game and have special powers but to activate the power you first have to win the corresponding game. So far there are TAMSK, ZÃˆRTZ and DVONN potentials.

-	\|}	+
-		+
-	At the most basic level, the term ''potentials'' is just a fancy term for the pieces that act as expansions to [gameid=527 GIPF], and provide special powers. There are even ways to connect the different games in the project through the use of potentials, samples of these can be found in some of the other games, but if you're serious about including them in your game of [gameid=527 GIPF], you'll need [gameid=5202], [gameid=5117], and/or [gameid=26003]. One way to play with them is to require you to win their corresponding game in order to activate the powers, but as with all the games in this series, [designerid=244] suggests several "levels" of play, and this is just one of them.	+
-		+
-	=== What's in the GIPF Project Sets ===	+
-		+
-	# [gameid=5202]	+
-	** 6 TAMSK Potentials for each player	+
-	* [gameid=5117]	+
-	** 6 DVONN Potentials for each player	+
-	** 6 ZÃˆRTZ Potentials for each player	+
-	** 12 ZÃˆRTZ rings ''(to enable playing ZÃˆRTZ on a larger initial hexagonal field)''	+
-	* [gameid=26003]	+
-	** 6 YINSH Potentials for each player	+
-	** 6 PÃœNCT Potentials for each player	+
-	** 3 extra GIPF pieces for each player ''(to enable playing "Ultimate GIPF")''	+
-		+
-	=== What do the potentials do? ===	+
-		+
-	First and foremost, the potentials are all expansions to [gameid=527 GIPF]. Agree whether to use them, like you would any expansion to any game. A common misconception is that using the potentials means you must interrupt your game of [gameid=527 GIPF] to play a game of TAMSK in order to see if you can use the TAMSK-potential (for instance). That is merely one option for how to use the potentials - and the most advanced and slow-to-play option, at that. The most practical application of the potentials is merely to use them as a simple [gameid=527 GIPF]-enhancement. That being said, there are several things to understand about how you employ potentials.	+
-		+
-	==== In general ====	+
-		+
-	* The normal pieces you use to play [gameid=527 GIPF] are called '''basic pieces'''. These are the only pieces you use in the ''basic rules'' of [gameid=527 GIPF].	+
-	* Any piece you put atop a basic piece to grant it optional powers is called a '''potential'''.	+
-	* A basic piece with a potential on it is called a '''loaded piece'''.	+
-	** You assemble a loaded piece before it goes onto the board.	+
-	** You may not put basic pieces into play until all your loaded pieces are in play.	+
-	** Only basic pieces '''return''' to play. In other words, a loaded piece that is captured (by you or your opponent) loses its potential ability.	+
-	** Captured potentials leave the game.	+
-	** When a loaded piece is part of a row that will be captured, you may leave it on the board. (Generally, you will want to take your opponent's loaded pieces, though.)	+
-	** The exception to that rule is that a row of four or more loaded pieces must be broken by removing at least one loaded piece from it.	+
-	* Once a potential is no longer part of a loaded piece, it is treated like a basic piece - except that it leaves the game upon capture.	+

-	* A row of four GIPF-pieces may remain on the board, unlike the other loaded pieces.	+

-	* If the PÃœNCT-potential steps onto your opponent's GIPF-piece, remove the PÃœNCT-potential from the game, and then cover the GIPF-piece with either a basic piece from your supply, or a new GIPF-piece constructed from two basic pieces from your supply.	+
