Compete with players all over the world on a 19x19 board. There is - turn-based play, - realtime (live) play, - play against 2 different computer players, - participate in tournaments, - play King of the Hill and earn a crown, - search the game database by position for the most popular or best move! Gomoku: To win, place 5 (not more) of your stones in a straight continuous line (either horizontally, vertically or diagonally). Pente is like Gomoku but you can win by getting more than 5 in a row. In Pente you can capture stones by enclosing a pair of your opponent's stones. For example, if the stones are like this XOO and you place your stone so it becomes XOOX, then your opponents' stones are removed from the board, leaving X__X. You can also win at Pente by capturing 10 or more of your opponents stones. You can't play into a capture. Rated games have a "Tournament Rule". It restricts player 1's second move so that player 1's second move must be at least 3 intersections away from the center of the board. Keryo-Pente is like Pente but you can also capture 3 stones in a row. G-Pente restricts player 1's second move, like the tournament rule. It additionally prohibits playing on the 4th and 5th intersections away from the center of the board that are one the same horizontal or vertical line as player 1's first move. (These are the most common 2nd moves for white). D-Pente: Player 1 places 2 white and 2 black stones as a first move. Then player 2 decides to play as player 2, or decides to swap seats and take over as player 1! Afterwards, play continues like regular Pente. Poof-Pente: The main difference is that you can play into a capture! (e.g., from XO_X player plays XOOX) then the stones are "poofed" (removed from the board and counted as captures). Normal captures are still allowed and the number of captures to win remains at 10 stones. Up to 5 stones could be poofed in one move! Also note that my current implementation performs the following actions in sequence after a move: Check if move captured any opponents stones, if so remove stones from the board. Check if move creates a poof position, if so remove stones from the board. Check if player has a 5-in-a-row, if so the player wins. A player could capture and be poofed in the same move and the capture count could end up as 10-10. The game keeps going until one player has an advantage (i.e., gets more captured stones or gets five-in-a-row). There are no draws. Boat-Pente differs in the end game. Once a Pente is made (5 stones in a row), the game continues as long as the opponent is able to capture across the Pente! Capturing 5 pairs is still a win like in Pente and the tournament rule is used for rated games. Connect6: The goal is to be the first player to get 6 pieces in a row, either vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Player one plays one stone at the center of the board. After that each player gets to place two stones on the board at a time. DK-Pente is D-Pente with Keryo-Pente rules. O-Pente combines Keryo, Poof, and Boat Pente Go is also available on 3 different board sizes: 19x19, 13x13, and 9x9. Swap2-Pente is Pente with Swap2 rules. Swap2-Keryo is Keryo-Pente with Swap2 rules. ------ This app offers a 1 year auto-renewable subscription for $4.99 USD/year.

Even with the expanded view, it frequently drops the stone in the wrong spot -- Walkum7^2, 2024-11-12 ### *---- "Game play is arbitrary" This is, from what I’ve seen, the only Pente game play that includes single player (i.e., against the “computer”), which is exceedingly hard, even at level 1, my criticism is of the actual game play. Too many times have I lost a game because what I thought was my move actually ended up in a different position. I will not say that my subsequent move would have won the game, but I can definitely say that the computer’s move won the game more than a few times! -- Colo-in-NYC, 2024-06-30 ### *---- "No learning curve" Title says it all. This game is rather pointless unless you have been playing for literal freaking decades and know literally every possible outcome of a game. -- Valojez, 2023-09-19 ### ***-- "What about landscape mode on an iPad" The title says it best, I am running on an iPad and it is in portrait mode. Otherwise, the game runs well. I have a keyboard attached and only use the iPad in landscape mode. So, I was pretty surprised when I open this app and it didn’t spin. Maybe there is an option somewhere I missed?? -- Nanocore, 2022-11-10 ### *---- "Seriously??" I hate when you sign up and the first thing you get is questioned if you are enjoying the “Live Play”. You automatically get a 1 star for asking stupid questions. -- ghjfgutrghjhbgfft, 2022-10-23 ### ***** "Excellent platform" Excellent platform - players are polite - highly recommend this game for players of all levels - admin is helpful when needed - I play this game a lot -- Doclaw2, 2022-09-06 ### ****- "Great game but …" I really like this game and appreciate the face that I can play against others. But there is some needed changes as the following: -The AI board acts very fast, the response time would be much smoother and fun if it was slowed. -The user interface can be developed more. Besides that, very good work ! -- Markoplace, 2022-05-07 ### ***-- "Really great, but makes me feel stupid." I love pente. I’ve played it since I was five and I was so excited to find this app, and it’s really great! My only problem is that every AI game I’ve played I haven’t stood a chance. Live is great, love it. But the AI.. honestly I respect it, but even on level 1? I’ll stick to playing live. If you’re a beginner and just learning the game don’t use the AI. You won’t really learn and you’ll just rage quit. I’ll keep trying to beat it, but I’m not holding out hope lol -- angeladsings, 2021-11-28 ### *---- "Too many bugs" Changes my last location, freezes, bumps me out of a game. -- fhvbhstugf4689, 2021-07-13 ### ***** "Greetings thankful for gracious blessings." PenteLive is enjoyable with my good institutional WiFi connection. I don’t have internet. No more email. Apple ID is kaput without password? ! ?? Best wishes and hopes for 2021. PenteLive is good. -- genghis 88, 2020-12-27 [View all Pente Live reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Pente Live In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Pente.org subscription | $4.99 | ## Pente Live Discovered Keywords - penta - pente live ## Pente Live Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/canada) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/mexico) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/united-kingdom) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/australia) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/belgium) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/france) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/sweden) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/netherlands) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/singapore) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/germany) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/united-arab-emirates) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/new-zealand) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/japan) - [Kenya](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/kenya) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/thailand) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/taiwan) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/switzerland) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/spain) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/ireland) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/israel) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/italy) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/south-korea) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/kuwait) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/kazakhstan) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/lebanon) - [Malaysia](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/malaysia) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/nigeria) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/norway) - [Panama](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/panama) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/peru) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/philippines) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/poland) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/portugal) - [Romania](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/romania) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/russia) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/turkey) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/ukraine) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/south-africa) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/argentina) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/azerbaijan) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/brazil) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/belarus) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/chile) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/colombia) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/czechia) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/denmark) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/dominican-republic) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/algeria) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/ecuador) - [Estonia](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/estonia) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/egypt) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/finland) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/greece) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/hong-kong) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/hungary) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/pente-live-uhug/indonesia) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
