Gameplay Mechanics

Players take turns placing stones on the grid intersections. The primary objective is to be the first to form an unbroken line of five stones in any direction: horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. It is a game of pure strategy where one overlooked threat can end the match instantly.

Pro Tips

1. Central Dominance: Controlling the center of the board early provides more branching possibilities for attack and defense compared to the corners.
2. Block the Threes: Never let your opponent complete an 'open-ended three' (three stones with no blockages), as it almost always leads to a forced winning four.
