Try the board game Pentago.

By Amir King | AmirKing | 23 Jan 2020

Pentago comes in a square red box and cost me £20 from WHSmith. You can get free apps and play it on your smartphone.

Its a 2x2 grid of 4 rotating squares, and each square has 3x3 holes for black and white marbles. One person has white marbles, and his/ her opponent has black marbles. On each turn you place a marble in one o the holes and rotate one of the squares. The aim of the game is to get 5 of your marbles in a line on your go, then you win. It is possible to have a draw if all marbles have been placed and no line is formed.

Give it a try, it really improves your lateral thinking and is quite challenging.

Hello everyone on Publish0x!! My name is Amir, and I have just been approved to be an author. Ill tell you a bit about myself. I live on the south coast of the UK, and I love puzzles and games!! I have studied architectural Technology and have a BA in it. I have worked for various shops and a care home. I love music and like it when i find bands I've never heard of from the 80's. For example, I like Level 42. Unusual puzzles I like include hitori, slitherlink, masyu, nurikabe and skyscrapers.
