Luck profile
Interplay has a moderate influence of luck. Random elements have a notable but not exclusive impact on the game outcome.

The overall luck dependence is balanced, with a mix of luck and strategy determining the game outcome.
Overview
What ABG knows about this game
The game is a Go-Moku elaboration; players must get five pieces in a row. However, there are narrow pieces and wide pieces, and winning requires making one of three patterns (e.g., N-W-N-W-N). There are three different types of pieces: a narrow cylinder, a wide cylinder, and a wide tube. The narrow cylinder will fit inside the wide tube, and so those two pieces can share the same space - but only if they belong to opposite players. Pieces may also be moved, once there are no more new ones to be placed.
