How to play

  1. Open the page and pick Practice (vs AI) or Online (1:1 match).
  2. A ring follows your cursor over the board — click or tap to place your stone. Black always moves first.
  3. Line up exactly five in a row — horizontal, vertical or diagonal — or form an open four to win on the spot.
  4. Drag anytime to rotate the camera and read the position in 3D.

The rules at a glance

No more arguing about "what about six in a row?" — the referee enforces one consistent ruleset:

Exactly five wins

Five in a row — horizontal, vertical or diagonal. Six or more (an overline) is not a win for either color.

Open four = instant win

A four with both ends empty cannot be blocked, so it is declared a win immediately.

Renju forbids for Black

In Renju mode Black cannot play a double-three (3-3), double-four (4-4) or overline — the computer referee blocks the move with a notice.

Draw at 225

If all 15×15 intersections fill without a five, the game ends in a draw.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work on phones and tablets?

Yes. Tap to place stones and drag to rotate the camera — it runs in any modern mobile browser.

What are the forbidden moves?

They apply to Black in Renju mode: double-three (3-3), double-four (4-4) and overline (six or more). White has no restrictions. In practice, Easy and Medium use free-style rules without forbidden moves.

Can I play with a friend?

Yes. Create an online room and share the invite, or summon a room bot at your chosen difficulty while you wait for an opponent.

Which languages are supported?

The interface and chat run in Korean, English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese — the page you are reading is one of six language entries.

How strong is the AI?

Easy makes occasional mistakes, Medium plays sound fundamentals, and Hard performs a 3-ply minimax search with alpha-beta pruning — a real challenge for casual players.
