Gomoku (Five in a Row)is played on a 19 by 19 Go-bord, which is quite large. But very few games will use the entire board. The object of the board game is to get five stones in a row, be it horizontal, vertical or diagonal. You must notice that six in a row do not win, such a construction is called an overline. In that case the game just goes on. Of course the game can end in a draw, if the players agree, or in the very rare case the whole board is full of stones while no player has five in a row.
