Considered by many to be one of the worlds greatest strategy games, Gomoku was introduced to Japan by the Chinese in 270BC. The full name of Gomoku is actually Gomoku Narabe, which is Japanese for "five points in a row". Japanese chronicles show that at the time of the late 17th and early 18th Century Gomoku Narabe was at its height of popularity, being played by young and old alike. By 1880 the game had reached Europe where it is also known as Gobang. Despite the simplicity of idea, Gomoku is far more complex than tic tac toe and even goes beyond connecting just four.
