Gomoku XXL is a gomoku game for Android. Gomoku, also called five in a row, is tic tac toe on a big board: two players take turns placing X and O, and the first to line up five symbols across, down or diagonally wins.
On a big board, one move can open two threats at once. Gomoku XXL shows you the moves that decide the game, and lets you replay a game to see where it was lost.

Threat markers

Online
