Reviews "Great Toy! The object of this tic-tac-toe style game is to get five marbles in a row. The challenge is that the play area consists of four separate blocks – one of which will rotate a quarter turn as part of every move. The constantly changing play board adds a strategic element that appeals to sophisticated strategy gamers. But happily, the game is easy to learn and just as much fun for beginners." "Pentago Multi Player is maddening - in a really fun, addicting way! It is easy to get the game started - but a superbly crazy game to master and win. The game will never be played the same way twice - so once you think you've got it figured out - think again! It's as simple as place a marker and twist! Good luck and have fun - we know you'll love it - but don't say we didn't warn you!" What the Stuff Toy Review: "What We Thought: Pentago is so intuitive players can begin a game without even reading the directions, and its sleek design and simple concept make it immediately attractive. The more one plays it or watches a game of Pentago, the more its nuances are revealed. One reviewer found it reminiscent of an extended tic-tac-toe game, and a little weak on the defensive end — not as well developed in the area of giving players opportunity to directly interrupt their opponent by, say, knocking out an opponent’s piece or issuing some kind of trump card-like counter attack. He appreciated, however, elements that other players applauded, too: the simple rules, quick play, and opportunity for extended matches. “I like Pentago specifically because it’s not too hard, so it has a wider appeal with non-geeks,” another reviewer commented. One player noted that Pentago features the long-term planning of chess but without the complexity. And, it seems the simplicity of the game gives a novice a greater chance of beating an expert than games like Othello or Tannhauser do. TD Monthly Review
