Chus note
Gomoku, or also called “Five in a Row” originates from Go - a popular chess game that is especially famous in China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. The first form of playing Gomoku was similar to that of Go: played on a checkerboard and round black and white chess pieces called “stones”. Because of its simplicity and collecting stones from losing opponents rule does not exist, Gomoku can be played on paper with pens for more convenience.
Gốm Sài Gòn is the first brand that reproduces the original playing of the Gomoku game with stones made from terracotta material. The board and pieces are packed in a small linen bag for you to easily carry around and play with friends.
