			== Gameplay ==
			Gomoku, also called Five in a Row, is an abstract strategy board game. It is traditionally played with Go pieces on a Go board.

	~~== Goal ==~~		Players alternate turns placing a stone of their color on an empty intersection. Black plays first.

	~~Create~~ an unbroken ~~row~~ of ~~exactly~~ five stones ~~of your color~~ horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.		The winner is the first player to form an unbroken chain of five stones horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

	~~Overlines (rows of 6 stones or more) do not count.~~		== Options ==

	~~== Variant ==~~		'''Default options are bolded.''' ''Training mode only options are in italic type.''

	~~In Gomoku+ (also named Caro) in order to win your row of five stones must be free at both ends.~~		=== Board size ===

	~~This balances the game differently~~ and ~~gives more defensive power to the white player~~.		* ''9x9'': Small board size for quick and casual games.

	~~== Openings ==~~		* 13x13

	~~Black always play first~~.		* '''15x15''': Standard Gomoku board size.

	~~With the 'standard' (free) opening, black has got a distinct advantage over white who is directly put 'under attack'~~.		* 19x19: Standard Go board size.

	The '~~tournament~~' opening ~~aims to even the odds between the black and white players:~~		=== Variant ===
	* ~~black lays~~ the first ~~stone at~~ the center of the board
	* white lays the second stone ~~in one~~ of the ~~spaces adjoining to~~ the center of the board ~~(horizontally, vertically or diagonally)~~		Winning conditions of a game are displayed above the game board.
	* black lays the ~~third~~ stone at least ~~three spaces~~ away from the ~~center of~~ the board.
			* '''Standard''':

			* Caro:

			* Freestyle:

			=== Opening rule ===

			The first three options are unavailable in ranked games due to first player advantage.

			* ''None'': The game starts without any opening restrictions.

			* ''Pro''
			:- The first stone of the first player must be placed in the center of the board.
			:- The first stone of the second player may be placed anywhere on the board.
			:- The second stone of the first player must be placed at least three intersections away from the first stone.

			* ''Long Pro''
			:- The first stone of the first player must be placed in the center of the board.
			:- The first stone of the second player may be placed anywhere on the board.
			:- The second stone of the first player must be placed at least four intersections away from the first stone.

			* Swap
			:- The first player places three stones, two black and one white, anywhere on the board.
			:- The second player then chooses which color to play as.
			:- Play proceeds from there as normal with white playing their third stone.

			* '''Swap2'''
			:- The first player places three stones on the board, two black and one white.
			:- The second player then has three options:
			:# choose to play as black
			:# choose to play as white and place a second black stone
			:# place two more stones, one white and one black, and pass the choice of which color to play back to the first player

New page

== Goal ==

Create an unbroken row of exactly five stones of your color horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Overlines (rows of 6 stones or more) do not count.

== Variant ==

In Gomoku+ (also named Caro) in order to win your row of five stones must be free at both ends.

This balances the game differently and gives more defensive power to the white player.

== Openings ==

Black always play first.

With the 'standard' (free) opening, black has got a distinct advantage over white who is directly put 'under attack'.

The 'tournament' opening aims to even the odds between the black and white players:
* black lays the first stone at the center of the board
* white lays the second stone in one of the spaces adjoining to the center of the board (horizontally, vertically or diagonally)
* black lays the third stone at least three spaces away from the center of the board.
