Gomoku with friends or the computer

Play woodland Gomoku with Soul and animal stones. Practice against your browser’s computer, invite friends or join member ranked matches. Make each move in 15 seconds and earn stone-unlocking XP in ranked play.

Create a room and share the invite link or ten-character code. Black moves first. Connect five or more stones horizontally, vertically or diagonally to win. This is 15×15 freestyle Gomoku without forbidden moves.

Room state is stored on the server and expires 24 hours after the last change. Return with the same browser cookie and room code. Clearing cookies removes access to your seat. When both players agree to a rematch, colors swap.

Every move has 15 seconds. Tap for a translucent preview, then use Place or tap the same point again. Computer games calculate moves inside your browser and submit no game or score to the server. Computer and friend games earn no XP. Completed ranked wins earn 30 XP, losses 10 and draws 20; resignations, departures and timeouts earn none. Existing XP is retained. Start with Nuri and Chick and unlock one stone every 100 XP, collecting 26 stones from 25 kyu to 1 kyu. Matching skins change only the away stone. Kyu ranks track stone collection progress.

Ranked rematches with the same opponent are 10 minutes apart, up to 3 games in 24 hours. Each account can earn 300 XP and 160 positive rating over the last 24 hours. Forfeit wins increase rating only after both players make three moves and the game lasts 30 seconds. Losses still apply.
