Ming Mang is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Tibet. Ming Mang is also a general term for the word “boardgame” in Tibet. The game is played on an eight by eight game board.
The goal of Ming Mang is territorial control which is achieved by capturing and conversion of opponent’s game pieces. Ming Mang uses the custodian (flanking an opponent’s piece on two opposite sides) method of capture.
The winner is the player who occupies more than 50% of the game board which includes the player’s pieces and empty territories that it controls. Territories not controlled by any player are not counted.

The boards are sold as either unstained or stained. The stained boards are satin clear-coated for maximum protection and easy cleaning.
