Play Gomoku: five stones in a row Online Free

About This Game

One of the world's oldest strategy games, refined for the screen. Two players take turns placing stones on a grid, and the first to build an unbroken line of five, whether across, down, or diagonally, wins the board. The beauty lies in its double threat: every stone you place must both advance your own line and cut off your opponent's. Traditional and modern board sizes are supported, so you can play long classical games or quicker sport-style matches. Centuries old yet endlessly fresh, it rewards pattern reading, patience, and nerve, making it a superb duel for thoughtful players everywhere.

How to Play

Click any empty intersection with your mouse, or tap it on a touch screen, to place your stone. Alternate turns with your opponent and complete a straight row of five stones in any direction to win. Tip: build open lines of three that can extend both ways. Tip: always block an opponent's open three immediately.
