A few simple rules:  they take 30 seconds to learn, but a lifetime to master!  There are endless combinations for attack and defence. Keep your mind fit and get entertained every time you have a few minutes, maybe waiting to board a plane, or even while you ride to work. Games usually last 5 minutes, but they can be stopped and started whenever you want.

The Western world discovered the game in the eighteenth century. Students later started playing it by drawing crosses and zeros inside square cells of graph paper. Like any good idea, Go Moku spawned lots of variants, known as Pentix, Noughts and Crosses, Five-In-A-Row, Tic-Tac-Toe, Renju, Wu Ziqi, and Connect Five. These sometimes included features such as limitation of possible moves and the option of making captures.

This time-proven design gem comes from Japan. Legend has it that Go Moku had its origins as a wind-down relaxation after a game of Go, using the same board and pieces. They definitely came up with a winner! Go Moku ended up being even simpler and more inviting than Go, but there was a lot of depth under Go Moku's simplicity!
