A Multiplayer Strategy Game Combining Intelligence and Luck
Supports 2-4 players, integrating traditional Gomoku gameplay with the five Chinese elements (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth).

• Card Composition:

  • Four-element Cards: 5 types (e.g., Metal+Wood+Water+Fire), 10 cards each, 50 cards total

Game Mechanics

• Element Assignment: Each player is randomly assigned a unique element (no duplicates), kept secret initially.

• Card Acquisition: Each player starts with 3 cards per game (temporarily set at 3, subject to adjustment in future updates).

• Turn Rules: Play 1 card per turn and place it anywhere on the board.

• Victory Conditions:

  • Connect five elements in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) to win.

  • If multiple elements connect five simultaneously, the player who played their card last in the current turn wins.

• Strategic Goals: Build your own element connections while blocking opponents.
