Description

Gomoku (also known as Five-in-a-row) is a two-player strategy board game which involves placing black and white stones on a gridded board. The object of the game is to place five of your stones in a row either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. The game originates from the Chinese game Wu-Zi Qi (also known as Go-Moku) and was popularized in Japan during the 19th century. The game has become a popular online pastime, with many online versions featuring various board sizes, game rules, and game modes. It is also included in many computer games. Gomoku typically involves two players, but it can also be played with three or four players. The game can be played with paper and pencil, with a wooden board, or through an online interface. The game requires a strategy of both offensive and defensive moves in order to win the game. Players must pay attention to how their opponent is playing, and anticipate their moves in order to successfully win.
