Description:

Pentago is a fun, challenging and multiple award winning strategy game for kids and adults, that is both simple and sophisticated at the same time.

This is a two-player game in which the object is to create a row of five marbles, in any direction, before your opponent does, but with a twist. Each move consists of placing a marble and then twisting one of the four game blocks.

Children will gain spatial orientation, eye-hand coordination, logic and problem-solving abilities with this mind-twisting game.

Pentago comes with a snap-on plastic lid that holds all the marbles in place, while moving about or playing on the go. The game squares are "locked" into the base, with a clever mechanical Easy Turn design.

This game reimplements the well known Connect 4 with a twist: After placing a marble, the player has to twist one of the grids by 90°, thus changing the board after every turn.
