    Description

    Pentalath (also called Ndengrod) is an abstract board game for two players, designed by a computer program called LUDI, invented by Cameron Browne.

    It is the "brother" of Yavalath and it can be played using a Yavalath set.

    It is available from nestorgames.

    Rules

    Players: White and Black.

    Start: The board is initially empty.

    Play: Players take turns placing a piece of their colour at an empty cell. After each move, any same-coloured groups with no freedom (i.e. no adjacent empty board cell) are captured and removed.

    End: Players win by making a line of five or more pieces of their colour.

    First move equaliser: The second player has the option of swapping colours in lieu of making the second move. This stops the first player from making too strong (i.e. central) an opening move.
