Gomoku – Game Rules
* Gomoku game consists of a 12×12 grid box and contains a set of black and white stones.
* Player 1 gets the black stone, and player 2 gets the white stone automatically.
* The game’s main objective is that the players have to place the 5 stones consecutively, one after the other, within a straight line or crossword.
* Both the players will get the alternate chance to place the stone, and you can change the place of the stone an endless number of times. Once you’ve placed the stone, tap the Send button to confirm your move.
* The player who manages to place the set of 5 stones either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins the game. So you have to prevent the opponent from forming the stones.
Tips! The player who gets the chance to move the stone first has more chances of winning the game. So, ask your friend to send them an invite so that you may get the first chance.
