Pente
About 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
Put your stone on any empty intersection of the board to commence the game. Take turns turns with your opponent, each placing one stone per turn. Strive 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 either side. Keep in mind that only pairs of stones can be captured; single stones do not count. Succeed by either achieving a line of five stones or taking five pairs of your opponent's stones. Adjust your strategy based on your opponent's moves to stop their progress and further your own.
