Gomoku Narabe
Five in a Row Board Strategy
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Gomoku Narabe is the classic five in a row board game - beautifully simple, endlessly deep.
Place a stone. Build a line. Get five in a row before your opponent does.
FIVE RULESETS
- Standard (freestyle) gomoku
- Renju - forbidden moves for Black
- Caro - a winning line must be open at both ends
- Omok (Korean) - an overline does not count
- Ninuki - sandwich a pair to capture it; five captures wins
PLAY HOW YOU LIKE
- A daily challenge - one position, one attempt, timed, with streaks and leaderboards
- Offline against the computer, from Beginner to Master
- Pass and play on a single device
- Online with friends - invite by friend code, take turns at your own pace, chat and react
- Ranked matchmaking on a kyu/dan ladder, with Swap2 tournament openings
MORE THAN A BOARD
- Every move is scored: open threes, forks, blocks and sustained initiative all earn points
- Post-game review replays the turning points and the points you left on the table
- Eight tracks of guided lessons, taught on the board with positions to solve
- Build your own avatar and earn adornments as you climb the ranks
- 9x9, 13x13, 15x15 and 19x19 boards
- Light and dark themes, eleven languages
- Twelve boards to play on, from paper and marble to neon and a starfield
Free to play, with ads. One optional purchase - Gomoku Pro - removes them and unlocks game review, the lesson library, the daily leaderboards, the board themes and the avatar builder.
No account is needed to play offline or pass and play.
