Play Five in a Row online with a friend or computer

Play Gomoku online against a friend or a computer opponent with three difficulty levels. The game is free and works on mobile and desktop browsers.

How to play

Players alternate placing X and O marks on a 15×15 board. The first player to form an uninterrupted line of five marks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins.

Tips for winning

Watch your opponent’s threats while developing your own lines. Build open patterns that can grow in two directions, because they are harder to stop with a single move.
