Board Game Arena

Ninuki-Renju adds capturing to Go-Moku. A minor variation has been marketed under the name of Pente. A capture is made by trapping exactly two opponent pieces. The first player to either capture ten opponent pieces or place exactly five pieces of their color in a row wins. More infos here about some...

I will try to found some reference on this variations on the web.

This variation is just useless. If you take care of what happen on the board, you just can't lose... or win... This in not a matter of traps, or whatever, play randomly and wait your opponent have 4 in a row, then block. As 6 or more in a row do not grant victory, it's almost impossible to lose/win....
