Ta Yü (game)

Alignment and Abstract Strategy Games

Ta Yü is an abstract connection game dated 1999 by its Board Game Matcher listing, which names the designer as Niek Neuwahl. Played on a nineteen by nineteen board, it asks each side to place tiles that each carry three outlets so that the lines they form reach the edges of the board that belong to them. Scoring is unusual, because a side's points are the product of the number of edges it reaches on each of its two sides, not the sum, which forces a player to balance attack and defence at the same time. The listing treats it as a two-player game, lists a range of two to four players with a team-based mode, and estimates about forty-five minutes. Its mechanics are connections and tile placement.
