Gomoku is an abstract board game that is played on a 19x19 board. The players take turns to place one pawn on the board with the goal of placing 5 uninterrupted pawns in a line that can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal. There are many variations of the standard rules that can be decided before starting the game.
