Pentago is a two-player abstract strategy game invented by Tomas Flodén.
The game is played on a 6×6 board divided into four 3×3 sub-boards (or quadrants). Taking turns, the two players place a marble of their color (either black or white) onto an unoccupied space on the board, and then rotate one of the sub-boards by 90 degrees either clockwise or anti-clockwise. This is optional at the beginning of the game, up until every sub-board no longer has rotational symmetry, at which point it becomes mandatory (this is because until then, a player could rotate an empty sub-board or one with just a marble in the middle, either of which has no real effect). A player wins by getting five of their marbles in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal row (either before or after the sub-board rotation in their move). If all 36 spaces on the board are occupied without a row of five being formed then the game is a draw.
Some tournaments may use special rules. In Pentago Master, you can adjust the gameplay style from the settings menu to match these special tournament rules, allowing you to experience a format closer to official competitions.
You can play singleplayer with bot, local multiplayer with your friend or online multiplayer in Pentago Master.
