Pente

 

Based on Go and the x-in-a-row games, Pente offers two new facettes: You must place five pieces in a row to win, and, secondly, you can capture opposing pieces; you win if you are first to place five pieces in a row or if you are first to capture five pairs of your opponent’s pieces. In a turn, you place a piece on a free position. If two opponent’s pieces are enclosed by two of your pieces when you place a piece, those opponent’s pieces are captured. If someone places their piece between opposing ones, they are not captured. In the variant Pente Plus, four green pieces are introduced as jokers that can be counted for blue or yellow by the active player in their tur. You also can play in teams and even give eachh of the four players their own color.
