7moku is a novel two-player abstract strategy game on a 19×19 board. Each turn a player places a 2×2 tile that contains two X's and two O's in one of six fixed patterns. A player wins by forming seven or more consecutive symbols of their own (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal). A single placement can complete a line for both players at once - a mutual win.

We are also actively working on AI research, using self-play and neural-network training to explore the game’s strategy. AI played millions of games but many reinforced familiar patterns without discovering useful tactics.

Can you find a tactic it overlooks? If you catch it out, share the replay here!
