Description:
Connect6 is a two-player board game similar to Go-Moku or Renju. But it's far more complex, interesting and fair.
~It has many features to have the potential to become popular as a new board game!~

Rule :
- Black puts the first black stone on the Go-like board.
- Then, White and Black alternately place •TWO• of their own stones on empty intersections of the board in each turn.
So the stones' sequence looks like: "B, W W, B B, W W, B B, ...". (B:black, W:white)
- The one who gets SIX or more stones in a row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally) first wins the game.

3 Important Features :
1. Easy Rule:
Rule is similar to the traditional game of Go-Moku (5-in-a-row) or Renju.
2. Fairness:
Connect6 games are INTUITIVELY FAIR, in the sense that each player always has •ONE •MORE •STONE than the other after making each move.
Fairness might be the most identified and interesting feature of Connect6, it makes Connect6:
- NO advantage of the initiative(first move), not like most of other board games. So there is no need to impose some extra rules like Renju.
- The game board can be infinity.
3. Complexity:
Because each move has two stones to set, it makes Connect6 more complex then Gomoku.
The State-space and game-tree complexities for it are much higher than in Gomoku. And are even similar to that in Go and Chess.
As a compare list below:
Game~~~~~~~~State-space compl.~~~~~~Game-tree compl.
Connect4 ~~~~~~~~~10^14~~~~~~~~~~~~10^21
Checkers ~~~~~~~~~10^21~~~~~~~~~~~~10^31
Gomoku/Renju ~~~~~10^105~~~~~~~~~~~10^70
Chess ~~~~~~~~~~~ 10^46~~~~~~~~~~~~10^123
Connect6~~~~~~ 10^172~~~~~~~~~~~10^140
Go ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 10^172~~~~~~~~~~~10^360

Game Control
Set Stone
- Just drag the stone to board just like on a real board game, this will open the magnifier.
- Or quickly tap on the board at an empty intersection to set stone.
- Or hold an empty intersection for a second, this will auto select a stone to start setting.
Zoom/Move Board
- The board can be zoomed in/out by pinching using two fingers.
- Fast drag/flick the board to see the outside area.
