For 2-4 players aged 8+
The classic game of capture and 5-in-a-row. Includes deluxe roll-up gameboard and 4 sets of glass stones.
First introduced in the 1970s, Pente is a contemporary strategy game based upon several closely related games that have been popular in Asia for centuries. Pente (meaning 5 in Greek) combines the best elements of all three - the simplicity of Go-Moku, the flashy tactics of Ninuki-Renju, and the profound strategy of Go. All of these games can also be played on the Pente board. The object of Pente is simple - a player wins by placing 5 stones in a row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally) or by capturing 5 pairs of an opponent's stones.
Deluxe Pente features a quality roll-up board, just like the classic edition of the original game. Four sets of beautifully coloured stones allow for 2, 3 or 4 player games and four drawstring bags house each set of stones. Included in the Deluxe Pente instructions are the basic rules for 2-4 player games, Team Pente (4 player), 2 and 4 player Points Pente, special tournament rules, and frequently asked questions & answers.
