## Description

Five in a Row, anytime. Play a friend with a room code, meet random opponents worldwide, or take on the CPU offline. Simple rules, deep strategy.

Gonarabe is a beautifully crafted Gomoku (Five in a Row) board game you can play anywhere - against players around the world, against a friend, or offline against the CPU.

Black and white take turns placing stones on a 15x15 board. Line up five of your stones vertically, horizontally or diagonally to win. The rules take seconds to learn, but every game is a battle of reading ahead.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY
- Random Match: tap once and get paired with someone who is playing right now.
- Friend Match: agree on a room code, both enter it, and you are in a private one-on-one game.
- CPU Match: three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, Hard) and your choice of black or white. Works fully offline.
