Five in a row. A whole new set of possibilities. Place stones on intersections. Connect five or more horizontally, vertically or diagonally to win. Then discover powers that move, protect, remove and restore stones. CHANGE THE BOARD. CHANGE THE GAME. Nine powers add a new layer of strategy. Powers mode gives both players five ready-to-play abilities. Custom Powers lets you choose three from a set of nine, with the same set for both players. A power uses your turn, and each has its own cooldown and usage rules. SOLO OR TOGETHER Your next rival is always ready: challenge AI that runs entirely on your device and uses powers too. Or share an iPhone or iPad with a friend for Pass & Play. No matchmaking or internet needed. LEARN BY PLAYING Three short interactive lessons teach you to make a winning line, block a threat and use your first power. Try every power on a separate practice board before bringing it into a game. Practice never changes your saved games or stats. YOUR GAME. YOUR WAY. Choose Classic for familiar five-in-a-row strategy, Powers for a fixed set of abilities, or Custom Powers for your own three-power mix. Pick your opponent and rules on the home screen, then tap Play now. The app remembers your last choices. MADE FOR YOUR NEXT MOVE Powers games start on a 13 Ã 13 board with larger intersections; Classic starts on 15 Ã 15. Hold and slide to adjust your aim, undo a move and resume a saved game later. Existing saves keep their original board size. PLAY OFFLINE No internet, accounts or ads. AI analysis, profiles, optional avatars, saved games, history and stats stay on your device. English and Simplified Chinese follow your iOS app-language preferences. Make your first five. Then find your next move.
