Gomoko (Lance Thomas)

In this adaptation of the traditional board game Gomoku, or Go-Moku, the player can play against the AI. Normal rules apply. Each turn players place their pieces on the board in an attempt to reach five in a row. Rows may be attained horizontally, vertically and diagonally. There are three different AIs to play against a cautious, aggressive and balanced version. The player may also choose to go first or not and which color to play. Published in Loadstar #194.
