Pente (Pentagon) - Hardwood Game Board

http://marbleboardgames.com/item--Pente-Hardwood-Game-Board--pp1.html

14" square hardwood game board. Its a game of skill and strategy. The tactics resembles high-tech tic-tac-toe, on an intellectual level. Comfortably played by 2 people or two teams. Teams do not have to be balanced (two against one, three against two, any combination). This is a great family game because Mom and Dad can team up with their children and play against one another. The board is divided into ¾" squares, by saw-curf cutting. The unique feature of this board is the four holding trays for the playing gems.

Rules and instructions are included with the game.

Woods used are a combination of: cherry, walnut, oak, alder, maple, ash, hickory, and mahogany.

At 1:41, White could have captured a pair of Black's pieces to break up the four in a row, although Black could then just rebuild it in one move and still win, so while you were mistaken, you were also right. :)

It originated not from go, but from go-moku. Same board, pieces and country, but entirely different feel.
