🎮 What is Omok?
Omok (also known as Gomoku or Five in a Row) is a strategic board game where two players take turns placing stones on a board, aiming to be the first to create an unbroken line of five stones horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. With thousands of years of history in East Asia including Korea, Japan, and China, this game combines simple rules with deep strategy, making it enjoyable for beginners and experts alike.
📋 Basic Rules
- Game Setup: The game uses a 15×15 or 19×19 board with black and white stones. God Game Platform uses a 15×15 board.
- Starting the Game: Black moves first, and players alternate placing stones on intersections. Once placed, stones cannot be moved or removed.
- Victory Condition: The first player to create an unbroken line of exactly 5 stones in any direction (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) wins immediately.
- Forbidden Moves: In professional play (Renju), black has restrictions including double-three (3-3), double-four (4-4), and overline (6+ stones). God Game Platform uses free rules by default.
- Draw: If the entire board is filled without a winner, the game ends in a draw.
💡 Winning Strategies
- Control the Center: Start by occupying the center of the board. Playing from the center gives you attack opportunities in all 8 directions.
- Create Open Fours: Create a line of 4 stones with both ends open. Your opponent can only block one side, guaranteeing your victory on the next move.
- Double Three (3-3) Attack: Create two open threes simultaneously. Your opponent can only block one, making this a powerful offensive technique.
- Four-Three (4-3) Attack: Create a four and an open three at the same time. Your opponent must block the four, allowing your three to become a winning four.
- Balance Attack and Defense: Always block your opponent's three-in-a-row while building your own attack lines. Focusing only on offense leaves you vulnerable to counterattacks.
- Watch the Diagonals: Horizontal and vertical lines are easy to spot, but diagonal connections are often overlooked. Always check diagonal directions.
🏆 Tips for Beginners
- Check your opponent's stone placement every turn. Always block when they have three in a row.
- Don't focus solely on attack. Develop a habit of thinking about both offense and defense.
- Place stones where they can connect in multiple directions simultaneously.
- Read your opponent's patterns and defend preemptively to create comeback opportunities.
- Practice against AI in various situations and review your games to improve.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
问：五子棋（Gomoku (Omok)）和连珠（Renju）有什么区别？

问：黑方（先手）是否总是有优势？
答：通常黑方有轻微先手优势。理论上在完美对弈下黑方可能获胜。职业规则会通过黑方禁手或交换规则来平衡。
