## Description
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.

## FAQ
### Does it work with 2 players?
Yes! It’s great with 2, 3 or 4 — the dynamics change with each player count.

### Need a table?
Nope! Play on floors, laps, or even a backpack (we’ve tried).

### Minimum age?
Rules are simple but strategy-heavy. Kids 8+ can play, but adults will find more depth.

### Any expansions?
None official, but we’ve seen house rules with extra blocking mechanics.

### Good for non-gamers?
Perfect as a gateway game — simple enough to teach anyone in seconds.
