## What is Wuziqi?

A calmer modern Gomoku board.

WUZIQI is a refined way to play five in a row on iPhone and iPad. Calm color, generous spacing, tactile feedback, and carefully tuned materials keep the board at the center of every match.

BEAUTIFUL BY DESIGN
• Choose from 8 board themes and 8 piece styles.
• Enjoy individually tuned light and dark appearances.
• Play in portrait or landscape with thoughtful layouts for iPhone and iPad.
• Subtle sound and haptics make each move feel present without becoming noisy.

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Three on-device AI levels: Normal, Intermediate, and Advanced.
• Local two-player on one device.
• 13×13, 15×15, and 19×19 boards.
• Optional Renju rules, including double-three, double-four, and overline restrictions for Black.
• Resume an unfinished AI match when you return.

PROGRESS, WITHOUT PRESSURE
Review your win rate, streaks, and recent activity in personal statistics. If you enjoy collecting milestones, 30 Game Center achievements are available too.

OFFLINE AT HEART, CLEAR ABOUT EXTRAS
Core matches and the on-device AI work without an internet connection. Network access is required for ads, purchases and restores, Game Center, and some Apple system services.

WUZIQI is free with ads. An interstitial may appear only after a match. After the included Hint or Undo uses are exhausted, you can choose a rewarded video for extra uses. A one-time Remove Ads purchase removes ads and makes Hint and Undo unlimited.

PRIVACY YOU CAN CONTROL
No WUZIQI account is required. The in-app Privacy Choices screen lets you review or change consent for anonymous analytics uploads. Tracking permission is handled through Apple’s ATT prompt; declining does not block gameplay.

INCLUDED IN VERSION 1.70
• Interface support for English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, and Spanish.
• VoiceOver support and Siri Shortcuts for starting or resuming a match.
• 8 board themes, 8 piece styles, three board sizes, Renju, local two-player, statistics, and 30 achievements.

WUZIQI is made for a quick quiet match, a shared game across the table, or a longer session at your own pace.
