Pente

 

Based on Go and the x-in-a-row games, Pente offers two new facettes: You must place five pieces in a row to win, and, secondly, you can capture opposing pieces; you win if you are first to place five pieces in a row or if you are first to capture five pairs of your opponent’s pieces. In a turn, you place a piece on a free position. If two opponent’s pieces are enclosed by two of your pieces when you place a piece, those opponent’s pieces are captured. If someone places their piece between opposing ones, they are not captured.
