Pentago — Master the Rotating Grid Pentago brings a fresh spin to the classic "align 5" strategy game. Place your marble on any of the four 3x3 grids, then rotate one grid clockwise or anti-clockwise — every move you make can also unmake your opponent's plans. Align five marbles in a row, vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, before they do. PLAY YOUR WAY Challenge a friend locally in Player vs Player, or test your skills against the AI opponent when you're playing solo. MULTIPLE PROFILES Set up separate profiles for everyone in your household, complete with custom avatars, so each player's stats and progress stay their own. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Dive into detailed gameplay statistics — games played, draws, wins, losses, and more — to see how you're improving over time. UNLOCK ACHIEVEMENTS Earn achievements as you play, from milestone move counts to... well, some are for the sore losers too. A little friendly competition never hurt anyone. LEARN AS YOU GO A built-in "How to Play" guide walks you through the rules, turn order, and win conditions, so new players can jump in with confidence. Simple to learn, deep to master — Pentago is strategy with a twist.
