Pentago - The strategic board game with spinning mechanics

Welcome to Pentago by boza.info – the tactical board game for two players or against an AI with selectable difficulty. The board consists of 4 quadrants with 9 fields each. Place marbles alternately and rotate one quadrant afterwards. Whoever places 5 marbles in a row first wins!

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.

How do you win at Pentago?

The goal is to be the first to get five balls in a row – horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Important: after every move you must rotate one of the four quadrants by 90 degrees. That changes the whole game.
