TAIJI is a strategy board game for 2 players Ages 6 and up. TAIJI is a Chinese term that means ‘Great Duality’ and represents the fight of Good vs. Evil, Light vs. Darkness, YIN vs. YANG. But YIN and YANG are indivisible! That’s why both players use the same indivisible “dual” pieces called TAIJITUS. The object of the game is to get the highest score summing up the 2 largest shapes of connected squares of your colour (DARK or LIGHT) by placing TAIJITUS anywhere you want in the board, as long as there’s a free space to do so. Be careful! Every time you put a TAIJITU you’re playing both colours! So you might be helping your opponent! Self-published free computer version is available for download (see files section). NESTORGAMES version features a special 11x11 "Deluxe" board, so you can play on 7x7, 9x9 or 11x11. It includes a new victory condition (at the start of the game you can choose 1,2 or 3 groups as the victory condition).
