01
The essentials
Little Table uses a 15×15 board with Black moving first. Connect five or more stones horizontally, vertically or diagonally to win. There are no forbidden moves or swap openings. This differs from tournament Renju rules with restrictions on Black.
02
Your first moves
Select an empty intersection to preview your move, then confirm it. First look for an immediate win or an opponent line that must be blocked. Check diagonal threats as carefully as horizontal and vertical ones. A promising attack is not worth overlooking a winning reply.
03
Playing at Little Table
Choose AI practice when playing alone, or create a private room and share its invitation with a friend. There is no public matchmaking queue. A full board without a winner is a draw; colours switch for the next round.
04
Common questions
Does a line of six win?
Yes. This implementation uses freestyle Gomoku: five or more wins, rather than treating overlines as a forbidden move.
What should a beginner practise first?
Check the opponent’s immediate threats before every move, then look for connected attacking lines of your own.
You know the basics. Pull up a chair.
