Story
Who says five stones have to form a straight line? A boot, a butterfly, a cross-shaped flower… Think beyond the line and build your way to victory! In Shape Gomoku, players take turns placing stones to form target patterns with five stones of one color. Plan your next move—and watch for the opportunities your opponent is quietly building. Choose your targets before the first move Pick from twelve built-in patterns or let the game choose at random. Single-player and local matches support one to six targets, adjustable board sizes, and the option to allow rotations and reflections. With fixed orientation, match the pattern exactly as shown.
