+**Yontel** is an [[infinite games|infinite game]] designed by Louigi Verona, the goal of which is to grow an [[xubus]] field without creating gaps. Each new piece should touch already existing pieces. In the first version of the rules the winning scenario that would stop the game was to build a rectangle, however this is impossible to achieve due to the shape of the xubus.

-Due to the shape of an xubus, the goal of the game is impossible to achieve. However, it is possible to lose by creating a gap that cannot be filled. Therefore, the process of the game involves growing the xubusei field, at the same time making sure there are no gaps.
+The game has a meditative quality to it and is generally not difficult to play. Difficulty can be increased by limiting the play field and requiring the player to use up a defined number of xubusei, which would make it similar to a polyomino tiling puzzle.
 Yontel can be played on paper or with physical pieces.
