Pente

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.
