How to play five in a row
- Two players take turns placing their mark, X or O, in any empty cell of a 15×15 board. X moves first.
- The first player to get five or more marks in an unbroken line wins: across, down or diagonally.
- Block your opponent's lines while building your own. Threats that must be answered win games.
- If the board fills up with no five in a row, the game is a draw.
