Description

Pentago is a quick and clever abstract strategy game for two players that's easy to learn and plays out in just 5 minutes. Designed by Tomas Flodén and first published in 2005, the game features a unique twist on traditional grid-based games. The game board consists of four 3×3 grids arranged into a larger 6×6 grid, where players take turns placing marbles and trying to get five in a row. What makes Pentago really interesting is the ability to twist one of the grids by 90° after each turn, which completely changes the board and requires players to think strategically and adapt quickly. With no necessary in-game text, Pentago is a great option for players of all languages and backgrounds. It's a simple yet challenging game that's all about outmaneuvering your opponent and building patterns to win.
