Pentago
couldn’t be simpler; it’s Connect 4 with a twist, literally.
Similar to regular Connect 4, players place marbles on the board attempting to get theirs in a row. With Pentago you’re aiming for 5 in a row.
The twist is, after placing a marble on the board, the player then also twists one of the 4 quarters through 90°. This simple mechanic turns Pentago into a mind-bending strategy game.
Pentago is for 2 players aged 7+, and plays out in approximately 5 minutes.
Pentago is also available in a multiplayer version. Accommodating 2 to 4 players, Multiplayer Pentago expands on the base concept of Pentago.
Pentago’s original 6×6 grid is replaced by a 9 x 9 one, made up of 9 individually rotating 3 x 3 grids. The marbles are replaced by two-sided tokens, though the challenge is the same; be the first player to get 5 in a row, by placing your tokens and moving one of the 9 sections through 90 degrees, on each turn.
From 2 – 4 players, aged 7+. Multiplayer Pentago plays out in approximately 5 minutes.
