Pente is a board game created in 1978 by Gary Gabrel. It is a slight simplification of the Japanese game of ninuki-renju, a variant of gomoku played on a Go board of 19 x 19 intersections with white and black stones.
History
Pente (πέντε) is the number 5 in Greek.
Pente was invented while Gabrel was working as a dishwasher at The Hideaway pizzeria in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Now, based on the success of the Pente game, Gabrel is the head of a group of Hideaway employees who have opened new Hideaway locations in Tulsa and Oklahoma City. During the early 1980s, an all-glass board was made available through the manufactury in Indiana as a limited edition. Glass-board Pente sets are now difficult to find.
This game is in BEAUTIFUL condition including cardboard insert, 4 stone bags (each bag has strings that match the color of the stones), with original colored stones. It was stored in the shipping box from Kroch's & Brentano's.
