Pentago

Tactical placement followed by a spin. Be the first to get 5 in a line to win! 

Components

• 4 twistable 3x3 game blocks
• 18 Black Marbles
• 19 White Marbles

Setup

The game starts with an empty game board, consisting of the base and the four twistable game blocks. Decide marble color of each player.

To determine who goes first, disguise one of each color marble in your hands and have your opponent choose one hand. The chosen color goes first and places a marble anywhere on the game board.

Object of the Game

The object is to get five marbles in a row before your opponent does. The mind twisting part of Pentago is that each player will also twist one of the four game blocks 90 degrees (one "notch"), clockwise or counter clockwise, as part of each turn.

A 180 degree (double "notch") twist is not allowed. The twist is the key to create winning positions in Pentago.

Game Play

Players take turns at placing marbles on the game board and twisting the game blocks. A player is free to twist any of the game blocks, regardless of which game block the player placed the marble on.

In the beginning of the game, there will be neutral game blocks, allowing a player to ignore the twist portion of their turn. A neutral game block is one that is empty or has only one marble in the middle of it.

Twisting a neutral game block will have no effect on the positional nature of the game board so the twisting part of a move is optional while there are neutral game blocks.

End of the Game

A winning row of five marbles can occur vertically, horizontally or diagonally, anywhere on the board and will span two or three game blocks.

What seems like a simple five-in-a-row game quickly gets mind twisting as the board fills up and both players are twisting the game blocks, creating a constantly changing and challenging game scenario.

You'll want to really watch your opponents position as it relates to yours and play as much defensive as you do offense.
