Questions about Gomoku

Is it renju or free-style?

Free-style: no forbidden moves, and six in a row wins just like five.

Do we need to be online at the same time?

No. Every SparkChat game is turn-based and asynchronous. The board sits in the group chat; you make your move when you open the chat, and everyone else sees it land there.

Where does the game live?

Inside the group chat as a live card. Tap it to open the board, play, and close it. The card updates for everyone the moment a move lands, and the finished game stays in the chat as a keepsake.
