## Description
TAMSK is a real-time abstract strategy game that pits two players in a brainy duel with a unique twist: sand timers are your pieces! The hexagonal board has limited spaces, and every move requires flipping a timer to mark your time. The goal? Keep your pieces mobile while your opponent's get stuck or run out of sand. Central spaces are more valuable but also more contested. Part of the GIPF Project, TAMSK is pure tension and quick thinking, perfect for those who love mental challenges with a dash of time pressure.
