About this game

You can enjoy real-time online Gomoku over the world.
Gomoku is an abstract strategy board game.
Also called Gobang or Five in a Row, it is traditionally played with Go pieces (black and white stones) on a go board. however, because once placed, pieces are not moved or removed from the board, gomoku may also be played as a paper and pencil game. This game is known in several countries under different names.
Black plays first, and players alternate in placing a stone of their color on an empty intersection. The winner is the first player to get an unbroken row of five stones horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Dr. Gomoku follows the official Renju rule.

Ratings and reviews

Good game and looks nice, but the user interface menu is kind of odd and hard to understand. My biggest complaint though is that it has move restrictions and won't let you just play any open space, making most tactics impossible to use. I just want to play the game without these restrictions, but that isn't an option. Another issue I have is it requires you to make your move within a few seconds, or you forfeit the game. It seems like all of these rules were thrown in to remove any thinking.

Ranking is good you move your way up.. play in your level ..very fair.. This game is a mix of renju and gomoku. If you like those type of game. This is the far best app I download. Enjoy it alots.. I also think it needed to adjust a little bit on points system. instead of point is the percent win or lost.. because when you play a lower level and you lose the point drop a lots.. and if you win is so little.. so i believe won percentage ratio is better

Everything is perfect about the game and the way it plays. I just don't agree that you can lose to an opponent who connects 6 or more in a line. In my personal opinion the true way to play is to win with exactly 5 in a row...but that is just a personal thing.. Also would be nice to have a better way to scroll the board while in zoom mode. It's a little clunky right now where you have to drag the cursor to the edge of the screen and release to nudge the screen in some direction.
