## What is Rivoko?

One stone. Four directions. A board that changes with every move.

Rivoko is a turn-based strategy game played on a 5×5 board. Place a black or white stone and flip the first existing stone in each horizontal and vertical direction—even your own. Make a line of four or more to win, but look closely: your move can give your opponent the winning line.

CLIMB THROUGH FIVE RIVALS
Meet Nio, Kira, Bram, Vey and Nox. Earn unassisted wins to unlock the next rival, then win with both colors to master each challenge.
