About the game

What you do in a play session

Cinco Linko (a.k.a. OK Play) proves simplicity and strategy can go hand in hand. With just four stacks of colored tiles, the goal is clear: make a line of five tiles of your color before opponents. Rules? Easy: each tile must touch another's flat side (no corner connections) and lines can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal. If you run out of tiles without a winner, reposition one at a time. Take it anywhere — it's smaller than a phone and needs no shared language between players. Just don’t play on the moon (zero gravity would mess it up). Learn in 2 minutes, but mastery takes many games.
