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 that 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!
