Five in a row

Five in a row (Gomoku) inside the room: you invite a player and place stones on a 15×15 board. Whoever completes five or more in a row wins.

How to start

  1. In a game room: tap "New table", choose Five in a row and invite a player from the room. In a regular room, whoever manages the game starts it.
  2. The invited player taps "I'll play" — they have 60 seconds. The server draws who plays Black, and Black moves first.

How to play

  1. On each turn, place one stone on an empty square.
  2. Try to complete five or more in a row: in a row, in a column or on a diagonal.
  3. Each turn has one minute.
