PLAY TOGETHER
Want a quick game with one person? Start with a link.
You do not need an account, a download, or a long list of usernames. Open a table, send one link, and wait for the other person to take the second seat. When they arrive, you are looking at the same 15×15 board.
Black starts. The first unbroken line of five stones—across, down, or diagonal—wins. The rest of the table is there to make starting, reconnecting, and knowing whose turn it is feel less fragile.
WHO SHOULD SEE YOUR TABLE?
Keep a friend game private, or leave one seat open.
For someone you already know
Your table stays out of Find Match. Send the invite link in the chat you already use; only the person with that link can come and take the open seat.
For the next available opponent
Leave a public seat open when you would rather play now than arrange a time. It can appear in Find Match until another player joins.
For a link that did not arrive cleanly
A friend can also send the table code. Paste it into Online and you will join the same game; no need to make a second room.
IF A TAB CLOSES OR WI-FI DROPS
Come back to the same table, not a blank board.
The table checks each move before the other player sees it, so neither player can place on an occupied intersection or play twice. If your connection drops, reopen the same invite link and return to the current position instead of asking your opponent to rebuild it from memory.
The side panel makes the useful things visible without covering the board: who has black, who is waiting, and whether you are reconnecting. The host can swap the first move before the first stone, remove a guest, or close the room. Leave when you are done, rematch after a finish, or resign when the board has already made the result clear.
WHAT KIND OF GAME IS THIS?
Casual by default, but the position still counts.
This is freestyle Gomoku: overlines count, and black has no Renju forbidden-move restrictions. There are no clocks, ratings, or forced chat rituals. A private table suits a slow game with a friend; a public seat suits the simple question, “Does anyone want one game?”
