## What is Gomoku (Renju,Gobang)?

Gomoku, also called Gobang or Five in a Row, is an abstract strategy board game. It is traditionally played with Go pieces (black and white stones) on a Go board, using 15×15 of the 19×19 grid intersections. Because pieces are not moved or removed from the board, Gomoku may also be played as a paper and pencil game. The game is known in several countries under different names.

Players alternate turns placing a stone of their color on an empty intersection. The winner is the first player to form an unbroken chain of five stones horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

In this game you can play together and on 2 phones

Отличный переключатель между делами :)

### 4/5 — Люблю рэндзю

Игровой алгоритм на тройку, но интерфейс хороший. Иногда можно размяться. Жаль, что приложение не знакомо с дебютами рэндзю, было бы гораздо интереснее бороться.

### 1/5 — Обдиралово

Сетевая игра доступна в платной версии, но там нет людей вообще, выкинутые деньги

Здравствуйте! Очень хочется, чтобы во время игры можно было слушать свою музыку. (Приложение глушит эплмзик, Яндекс музыку) 
Еще не убирается звук щелчка фишек.

### 5/5 — Тупая

*2023-08-16*

Я настолько тупая, что даже посмотрев видео уроки по игре, все равно проигрываю в 3-4 хода. 
А так разработчики молодцы 👏

### 1/5 — Ужас

*2023-02-23, version 2.1*

После 3 хода всегда проигрыш. Как так то? Не советую.

### 5/5 — Здравствуйте!
