We are very proud to present Kumoku! - an innovative, exciting and challenging board game. The goal of our newest app is to get nine pieces in a 3x3 array (row, column, diagonal, matrix). Players score one point for each three in a row (xxx/ooo).

With our custom made AI (Artificial Intelligence) engine we guarantee no two games will be alike. It's you against the computer!

Kumoku! borrows some minor elements from games like Sudoku and Tic Tac Toe while managing to stay a unique & engaging experience. It's similar to Tic Tac Toe except instead of three in a row, you need to get nine in an array to win. Otherwise, the player with the most points wins the game.

If you like to play zero-sum games (Go, Gomoku, Chess and Tic Tac Toe) then don't doubt for one minute that you won't have a lot of fun playing Kumoku!

This game sorta reminded me of sudoku except it is more interactive. I love how engaging this game is and once I started playing I couldn't stop. It is very addictive and for people who likes to have a fun and challenging app to kill time, kumoku is the one to go!

HOW TO PLAY

. Kumoku! is a game played by two players. The first player selects the ball color with "x" or "o".

. Players take turns alternately selecting one of the empty balls at a time. All empty balls can be selected, regardless of their position on the Kumoku! board.

. Players accumulate one point for each tic-tac-toe (three in a row). The balls or pieces can be part of one, two, three or more tic-tac-toes at the same time.



. The game continues until one side or the other gets Kumoku! (nine in a row) or until the last ball is occupied and the player with the most points wins the game.
