Pentago is a world famous puzzle game developed in Sweden. The game, designed by Thomas floden, is an abstract strategy game in which players place alternate marbles on the board, one player has white marbles and the other has black marbles. The first player who gets five in a row wins, but there is a new twist: every time you place a marble, you also turn one of the game’s four boards.



The game is so mind twisting, that winning can be a hard nut to crack because as soon as you think you are through it, the real game situations might change. It also won the Mensa Select Award in 2006.

The game is very simple as it has just two play steps. First, put down a marble. Second, and only if you want to, rotate a quadrant. Get five marbles in a row and you win. You can buy it for $19.95.
