Add Renju and Gomoku

Renju Wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renju
Gomoku Wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomoku

Will likely use the Go board, but adjusted ro 15x15 with no captures and swap option (if able)

I think the most tricky addition will be Forbidden Moves (Renju wiki)

I'd ask Play strategy to consider adding this addition!
There are more resources on the Renju federation page.

@FangCheng I agree that fairness is central. Gomoku and Renju do give the first player an edge, but rulesets like Taraguchi 10 and Soosorv were designed to balance this out. Connect6 is interesting since it naturally reduces first-move bias, though it hasn’t developed the same professional scene as Renju and Gomoku, which have had active tournament organizers since the 1970s. If PlayStrategy adds connect variants, I’d support including Connect6 as well, but I expect Renju and Gomoku will attract the larger player base given their established history.

Hi @Blondike
Renju, Gomoku and Connect6 are games we would love to add to PlayStrategy. They are on a long list of potential games for us to add. I can't say when these games will become available on PlayStrategy, but keep checking back to see what we have added!

Speaking about connect-n games using a Go board, I'd also suggest Pente too, as from my experience it is really fun to play.
