Strategy tips

Pentago is a game of forward thinking. Every move not only changes your own board, but also that of your opponent due to the rotation. Watch carefully where already placed balls move after a spin and plan several moves in advance. Control the center of the quadrants and build open rows that can be completed with a rotation.
