How to play the ring-filled board game Yinsh

Have you given up on ring games altogether? Does that damn bottle ring game at the carnival get you so irate you can't even begin to think about buying an engagement ring for your beloved? Well, don't fear those rings anymore, play Yinsh. Check out this video to learn how to play the ring-filled game that is sure to change your ways.

The players each start with 5 rings on the board. Every time a ring is moved, it leaves a marker behind. Markers are white on one side and black on the other. When markers are jumped over by a ring they must be flipped, so their color is constantly changing. The players must try to form a row of 5 markers with their own color face up. If a player succeeds in doing so, he removes one of his rings as an indication that he has formed such a row. The first player to remove 3 of his rings wins the game. In other words, each row you make brings you closer to victory-but also makes you weaker, because you have one fewer ring to play with. Very tricky!
