Chek-ro

Chek-ro is a tactical board game similar to ninuki-renju and Pente. Two players take turns placing tokens on the board, and placed tokens cannot be moved. There are two ways to win: either by getting five of your tokens in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), or by capturing ten of your opponent's tokens by outflanking them on opposite sides. The game can also end in a draw if no one achieves either objective.
