Pente
A connect 5 board game. The players alternate in placing stones of their color. The players aim to align five stones of the same color (vertical, horizontal or diagonal). Captures are obtained by flanking pairs of an opponent's stones in any same direction (captures must consist of pairs; flanking a single stone does not result in a capture). A player wins by scoring five stones in a row, or capturing five pairs of opponent stones.
How to Play
Place your stone on any empty intersection of the board to start the game. Switch turns with your opponent, each placing one stone per turn. Aim to align five of your stones in a row vertically to win. Capture your opponent's stones by enclosing two of their stones with yours on both ends. Keep in mind that only pairs of stones can be captured; single stones cannot be captured. Succeed by either achieving a line of five stones or capturing five pairs of your opponent's stones. Adapt your strategy based on your opponent's moves to block their progress and promote your own.
