How to play Play Gomoku like a pro

How to Play

Gomoku is played on a 15x15 grid. Players take turns placing black or white stones. The first player to align five stones horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins.

Unlike Connect Four, stones stay where placed and there is no gravity. Open lines can extend in any direction, making threats harder to block.

Controls

Click or tap an intersection to place a stone. Some versions show move suggestions.

Scoring

Wins and losses are tracked. Some modes score by game length or difficulty.
