Your goal in In Tayu is to create as many water ways from one side of the board to the other while at the same time blocking your opponent. A brilliantly simple strategy board game that is as engrossing as it is educational.
Tayu is named after the legendary Chinese hero who saved his country from flooding by creating a series of waterways.

There are several things that make Tayu an engrossing board game. First, each tile is 3x1 (to be played on a 19x19 board) and has exactly three outlets (potential connection points).
Second, your score is not simply the number of spots you've reached on one edge added to the number of spots you've reached on the other, but is the product of those two numbers.
You can't just concentrate on one side and ignore the other, because zero times anything is still zero. Third, on each side of the board there are three special points which score double if you reach them.
To play well, you need to play both offense and defense and will often have to decide which strategy is going to keep you in the game when placing a particular tile.
