Friend matches work between iPhone and Android. 【 Gomoku 】 ■ Ways to play · vs AI — works offline. Undo and hints available · 2 Players — pass one phone back and forth with a friend or family · Ranked online — play people of similar skill, from 18 kyu to 9 dan · Play a Friend — send a 6-digit invite code and start a game instantly · Leagues — gather your class, friends or family with one code and compete on standings. A new season every two weeks, all-time records kept ■ Dojo Challenge — 30 AI characters From Minjun the playground kid to Old Man Kim at the senior center, the club instructor, the society president, the provincial rep and the Renju national player. Beat each one to unlock the next, and earn a title every time you clear a dojo. One only attacks, one only blocks, one sets double-three traps… Every character has a different style, so beginners and experts alike find the right opponent. ■ AI Review — "Where did I lose?" After a game, tap Review and the AI replays the board to point out the decisive moves: "Move 34: you should have blocked here", "Playing here would have won". Step back through the game move by move and grow your Gomoku skills. ■ Daily Gomoku Puzzle A new puzzle every day. Find the winning sequence, sharpen your reading, and keep your streak alive. ■ Choose your rules · Standard (default): no double-threes for either side, exactly five wins · Renju: Black may not play double-three, double-four or overline (official tournament rule) · Freestyle: no restrictions, five or more wins ■ Comfortable for everyone · Tap to place — worried about mis-taps?
