Penki is a tactical, dynamic 5-in-a-row game. As with most 5-in-a-row games, each player strives to create a row of 5 pieces of her color. In Penki, however, there is a 3rd color which is wild, and all the pieces wait, hidden in a bag, to be drawn. Each Player owns 14 pairs of pieces, randomly drawn from the bag. On your turn, you either add a new board segment (of 2 spaces) to the growing gameboard, or you place one of your pairs of pieces onto one of the segments of the gameboard. Thus, in this game, your 5-in-a-row can include wilds.
