Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: OTHELLO KING at none against Gomoku Clan's shown. OTHELLO KING also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). Gomoku Clan's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
