Gomoku
Gomoku, also called "Five in a Row", is an abstract strategy board game. It is traditionally played with Go pieces (black and white stones) on a Go board, using 15×15 of the 19×19 grid intersections. Because pieces are not moved or removed from the board, Gomoku may also be played as a paper-and-pencil game. The game is known in several countries under different names.
Square Enix Montreal
Square Enix Montreal's "Go" series of turn-based puzzle games for smartphones and tablets released to high praise. Ryan McCaffrey of "IGN" wrote that the first two releases were the "smartest" mobile games of any console franchise. Sam Loveridge of "Digital Spy" summarized the series as immensely successful. The games use simple touchscreen gameplay mechanics to move the main characters from each screen around a minimalist board game-like puzzle. With each entry, Square Enix Montreal distills and reinterprets the parent series' essential gameplay elements for the board game format. "Hitman Go" was released in 2014, "Lara Croft Go" (of the "Tomb Raider" series) in 2015, and "Deus Ex Go" of the "Deus Ex" series in 2016. The studio released documentary videos on their "Go" series development process.
