How to play

The goal is to be the first to line up five of your stones in a row. Just 4 steps.

01

Board

You play on the grid intersections (usually 15×15). One player uses black stones, the other white.

02

Move

Take turns placing one stone on any empty intersection. Stones stay put until the end of the game.

03

Line

Build a row of five stones horizontally, vertically or diagonally — and block your opponent at the same time.

04

Win

Whoever first gets exactly five (or more) in a line wins. If the board fills up, it's a draw.

About the game

Gomoku is "five in a row," a strategy game with no chance, close in spirit to tic-tac-toe but far deeper thanks to the big board. Strong play is built on double threats: create two lines at once so your opponent can't block both. On muta.pro you can play Gomoku with a friend by room code or against a bot, right in your browser, no install needed.
