How to play Cinco Linko (OK Play)

Each player chooses a color of tile and receives a set of 15 square tiles of their color.

Decide who will start. The shifts go clockwise.

On your turn, place a piece on the board, connecting it to any piece already in play. When there are no pieces, start from anywhere on the flat surface.

The aim is to be the first to line up five of your pieces in a row horizontally, vertically or diagonally, without any interruptions.

If all the pieces are used without a winner, remove one of your right pieces and redraw it anywhere possible on your next turn.

Mechanics of Cinco Linko (OK Play)

  • Placing Parts - Each player has a limited number of tokens of a specific color. During their turn, players must place one of their tokens in any available position on the board, which is made up of a grid of square spaces. The main objective of the placement is to form a continuous line of five tokens vertically, horizontally or diagonally, while blocking opponents' attempts to complete their own lines. The simplicity of this mechanic demands strategic attention, as the correct placement can determine the pace of the match and create opportunities for victory or defense against your opponents.
