FIVE CARDS IN A ROW. ONE CLEVER OPPONENT.

Pentaline plays like cards and thinks like chess.

The board is printed with card faces. Play a card from your hand, claim the matching space with one of your chips, and build a line of five in any direction — across, down, or diagonal. First to complete one (or two, if configured in Settings) line takes the game.

A minute to learn. Considerably longer to master.

AN OPPONENT THAT ACTUALLY PLAYS WELL

Most board game apps ship an AI that either blunders or quietly cheats. Pentaline does neither. It reads the board the way a strong player does — building toward two threats at once, blocking your line before you've noticed it forming, and holding its wild cards until they really hurt.

Choose your level. The lower tiers play honestly and leave you room. The top tier will beat you until you get better.

HINTS THAT TEACH, NOT JUST TELL

Stuck on your turn? Ask for a hint and Pentaline shows you the strongest move — and explains why it's strong. Which line it builds. Which threat it kills.

WHAT'S INSIDE

- Two-eyed jacks play anywhere. One-eyed jacks lift a chip off the board - Free corner spaces count toward every line - Undo your miss-tapped move (before opponent moves) - AI opponent across three difficulty levels - Pass-and-play on a single device (premium feature) - Hints and Smart Hint mode - Stats that show your number of wins - Universal — iPhone and iPad

NO ADS. NO TIMERS. NO NONSENSE.

Pentaline is ad-free and stays that way. No banners between turns, no energy meters, no pop-ups. Play as long as you like. No Internet connection is ever needed. After you install the app :) Private - no tracking, no data collection of any kind.

From FeinGames — pure logic, clean look, wholesome fun. Ad-free games for players of every age.

A NOTE ON THE NAME
