Three rule sets
Freestyle, swap2, or Renju.
Goban · Desktop Gomoku game
A 15×15 board. Three rule sets. Games stay local.
Review stays on the board: the timeline becomes a score curve, and each mistake it can prove is explained beside it.
Triangles and circles on ruled paper; the game stays as it was.
Freestyle, swap2, or Renju.
Beginner to Extreme; Hard and Extreme alternate colours.
Import, paste, or drag in a file.
Retry from before the mistake; the original game stays.
Drills on the main board and a daily streak.
Nothing to sign in to; no server.
v1.76.0Sep 30, 2026Release notes ›
macOS on Apple Silicon and Windows x64. There is no Intel Mac build. On Windows it needs the WebView2 runtime, which Windows 10 and 11 usually include.
It opens at the last move; the timeline under the board steps through it. If the position is unfinished, you can continue playing from it.
All four levels use one engine. Beginner blocks your fours but often misses open threes; Normal takes about 0.4 seconds a move; Extreme uses Hard's search with two and a half times the time. By default you alternate colours on Hard and Extreme. The rule set is chosen on the New game card and applies when you press Start.
