Pentago is the board game of the Mensa Society. It's like Tic Tac Toe but literally with a twist. Two players take turns. With each turn, a marble is put down and a quadrant rotated. First to get five marbles in a row wins. It's the twist that makes Pentago unique - the final twist can be the difference between triumph and disaster.
Our game comes in sturdy plastic, and can be compared to Chess or Go - for it's spatial and reasoning benefits. It's easy to learn, very difficult to master and relevant for 8-108 yo. It takes just 5-10minutes to play one game.
Pentago is testimony to the value of a dull meeting. Swedish inventor Tomas Floden was an Account Analyst in a meeting when his game idea came to him. Now he just counts his money and does whatever he wants.
