Here you'll find different games which have one thing in common - they are all played on a GO-board (with different size).
Gomoku (five in a row) and Gobang are ancient strategy games which are known
under different names worldwide.
The objective in both games is to build a row of five consecutive stones of your colour.
Both players take turns - black always starts.
Unlike Gomoku, in Gobang placed stones can be removed by the opponent.

| Specialities: |
Opponent's stones can be removed.
If two neighbouring opponent's stones are caged (surrounded) by your own stones, they are captured and removed
from the board.
It is possible to build a row of two stones between the opponent's stones - and they will not be removed.
