How to Play

Learn to play Pentago in four steps. Pentago is a unique game that tests strategy and intelligence, where the rotation mechanic changes the balance of the board with every move.

Pentago is also featured in official tournaments organized by the Turkey Mind Sports Federation.
1

Place Your Marble

When it's your turn, place a marble of your color into any empty hole on the board. You can choose any empty spot in any quadrant.

2

Rotate a Quadrant

After placing your marble, choose one of the 4 quadrants and rotate it 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise. This is a mandatory step and can change the position of all marbles on the board.

3

Line Up Five

The first player to line up 5 marbles in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — wins. Win checks are performed after both placement and rotation.

4

Match Series

Online matches use a series system. Series of 1, 3, 5, or 7 games can be played. The player who wins the majority of the series wins. The starting player alternates each game.
