Rules

Gomoku, also known as Five-in-a-Row, is a simple two-player board game where you aim to place five stones in a row before your opponent.

The board consists of a grid of intersecting lines. You and your opponent alternate turns placing a stone of your colour anywhere on the board where two lines intersect. The first person to place five stones in a row wins (horizontally, vertically or diagonally).
