Gomoku for Two

Connect two phones over Bluetooth and play Gomoku face to face. No internet, no account: just pick a room number and play. No ads.

Gomoku for Two is a head-to-head Gomoku (five in a row, 15x15) game for two phones. One player taps "Create room" to get a room number, the other taps "Find room" and picks that number. That's it: no internet, no account, no pairing. The phones connect directly to each other over Bluetooth, so you can play even where there is no signal.

Perfect for breaks, trips, cafes and waiting rooms: a quick game with a friend or family member, each on your own phone.

HOW TO PLAY

1. One player taps "Create room". A big 4-digit room number appears.
2. The other player taps "Find room" and picks the same number from the rooms found nearby.
3. As soon as the phones connect, the game starts. Who plays Black (first) in the first game is random.
4. On your turn, tap a point once to preview your stone there. Tap the same point again (or "Place here") to place it.
5. Make five or more stones in a row, horizontally, vertically or diagonally, to win. The winning line is drawn in red.
6. When the game ends, if both players tap "Rematch", the next game starts with the first and second players swapped.
