===Equipment===
The game board is a regular hexagon with four spaces on a side and a triangular grid with 37 playable sockets; the ''GIPF project'' games all share the triangular grid and six-sided boards.<ref name=Rules/>

In addition to the board, the playing equipment includes:<ref name=Rules/>
* 6 [[hourglass]] sand timers (3-minute), 3 in each color (black and red)
* 1 neutral hourglass timer (15-second)
* 64 identical rings, half distributed to each player
* 2 ring holders (each holds 32 rings)

The board includes sockets at each playable point that will hold an hourglass upright. The 18 sockets on the outer edge of the board has a depth that is high enough to accommodate one surrounding ring. The next rank to the inside has 12 sockets two rings high; the next rank closer to the center has 6 sockets three rings high, and the single central socket is four rings high.<ref name=Rules/>
