Funy variation

There are a lot of variations of the five-in-a-row games. None of the games have fixed rules. The rules are in the idea-phase where all consequences not are calculated.

Game with a common center stone

In this game the center stone is black when it is black's move and white when it is white’s move. Black starts the game in the center of the board.

You can use software of to play this version of Gomoku

Game with atomic bomb

Once in a game each player has the right to drop an atomic bomb instead of a usual move. After dropping the bomb this bomb-stone is left on the board but all other black and white to the bomb adjacent stones diagonally, horizontally or vertically must be taken away from the board.

Neutral stone

This is a funny variation of pente or Keryo-Pente. (The program x and o allows use neutral stones in all Five-in-a-row games). Each player has two neutral stones in a third color. Each player has the right to use the neutral stone for a move instead of the ordinary stones for this player. The neutral stone is not possible to capture by neither black nor white. Combinations of the above mentioned funny games may be possible.

Gomoku+

Also called Caro. The winner must have an unbroken row of five stones and this row must not be blocked at either end. This rule provides more power for White to defend.
