The objective is simple: align five of your tiles consecutively on a grid – be it horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, Gomoku always offers room for improvement and a chance to outsmart your opponent in this two-player duel.
How to Play
Begin by choosing a player to place the first tile on the grid. Each player takes turns, strategically placing their tile on any unoccupied intersection. The goal is to place five of your tiles in a row. As the game progresses, you'll need to block your opponent's potential lines while creating opportunities for your own. Pay close attention to the board and anticipate your rival's next moves. The first person to line up five tiles wins. It's a game of wits, demanding both offense and defense tactics.
Tips and Tricks
To enhance your Gomoku skills, try anticipating your opponent's moves. Blocking their attempts to create a line is just as crucial as forming your own. Always keep an eye on multiple possible connections. Build up threats to force your opponent into a defensive stance, giving you space to craft your winning line. Remember, sometimes it's beneficial to sacrifice a promising move to secure a more advantageous position. Practice and observation are your best tools to master this compelling game.
