I have played games that the playable area on the board gets smaller as the game progresses, but in this game the board literally get's smaller. When I first unpacked the game, I thought the board was missing, until I realized that the pieced were the board. I haven't played any game like it, so it's really hard to compare it.
I really like all the games that I have played so far in the Gipf project. The rules are very well thought out and balanced. I gave this project 4 stars, because I gave my favorite gipf project game, Dvonn 5 stars.
All the games are made of excellent quality and the pieces have a really nice heavy feel. One story I would like to share is that my game was missing 4 marbles. I decided to email the game publisher before going through the trouble of packing it up and returning it to Amazon. I emailed them on a Sunday afternoon, they responded with an apology on Monday morning, mailed out the replacement marbles that same day, and I received them in the mail one week later. That was it; no questions asked...nice and simple. It's good to see that customer service is not lost on everyone. Thanks to Donco and Smart publishing for your help.
So if you would like to support the little guys and also get to play some great games, I definitely recommend the games in this project. [...]

ZERTZ is a fast, dynamic game for 2 players. It is played with 5 white, 7 grey and 9 black marbles on a board that gets smaller and smaller.The aim is to capture either 3 white, 4 grey or 5 black marbles, or 2 marbles of each color. To capture you must jump with a marble over another marble. Sounds easy? Not when you know that both players play with the same marbles. And because the board gets smaller with every move, you and your opponent are forced towards a tense situation in which any move could be the crucial one...So, be careful: if you create a trap for your opponent at the wrong moment, you may well face the consequences yourself!

This looks like a simple game until you try it - keeps you thinking until the very end, as the best games do. And, unlike some thinking games, this one moves along quickly and doesn't take too long, so you can get a few rounds done in an hour.
Seems solidly made, should last for your lifetime.
Not practical in a crowd, not practical unless you can concentrate.
Highly recommended.

Dvonn is a challenging stacking game with very simple rules. It is played with three red Dvonn pieces, 23 white pieces, and 23 black pieces. The players must try to control as many pieces as possible by building stacks, preferably by jumping on top of their opponent's pieces. While doing so, pieces and stacks must remain linked to the red Dvonn pieces. If not, they are out of the game. When no more moves can be made, each player put their stacks on top of each other. The player with the highest stack wins the game! This two player family strategy game takes about 30 minutes to play.

The rules of this game are simple - so you pick it up quick, yet like real good games you evolve with the game and you discover several levels of sophistication and strategy as you play along. Careful very addictive. Probably recommended to play with a better player for the first few times. It is the first game in Kris Burm's Gipf project which contains today 7 games.
