## What is Five?

YOU KNOW THE PATTERN. NOW MAKE IT FIVE.

Five takes the line-making idea you learned from Tic-Tac-Toe and opens it into a deeper strategy game. Place stones on a 15 × 15 board, read the threats, protect both ends, and be the first to connect five.

LEARN BY PLAYING

A five-move guided tutorial teaches the essentials on the real game board: intersections, blocks, diagonals, open ends, and the winning line.

PLAY YOUR WAY

• Solo — Choose Easy, Medium, Hard, or Expert and sharpen your strategy at your own pace.
• Two Players — Share one iPhone for a clean, immediate pass-and-play match.
• Online — Play timed matches with a fair Heads-or-Tails color assignment and 30-second turns.

BUILT FOR CLEAR THINKING

• Exact 15 × 15 Gomoku board
• Four distinct Solo difficulty levels
• Undo support for Solo and Two Players
• Clear latest-move and winning-line markers
• Fast first-run tutorial for players new to Gomoku
• Warm, tactile board-game presentation designed for iPhone

Easy to learn. Hard to master. Make the line that matters.
