About the game
Pentago Triple is a new version of the original Pentago, adding a third color and a new element to the game. The object of the game is to create five-in-a-row like in the original game, but in the Triple version players have cards that show what kind of rows they have to form using three different colors. The familiar twist is still there: players have to twist one of the four game blocks as part of their move. This causes the game to dynamically change, making for a fun and challenging game experience for beginners and masters alike!

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Pentago Triple is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Pentago Triple for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Pentago Triple has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game.
