Take 5 is a fun and clever strategy game from MB Games where two players face off to be the first to make a five-in-a-row pattern. It’s a simple idea, but every move counts. Each turn brings a new decision — do you build your own line or block your opponent’s next move? It’s all about smart thinking and perfect timing. Designed for ages 8 and up, it’s quick to learn, easy to set up, and full of satisfying little victories.
How to Play
Players each take a set of pieces — pegs and barrels — and take turns placing them on the board. The goal is to be the first to line up five of your colour in a straight, unbroken line, either across, up and down, or diagonally. The twist is that you can stack pieces too — putting your pegs inside or over your opponent’s barrels adds an extra layer of strategy. Once all your pegs or barrels are in play, you can start moving them around to finish your line. The first player to complete a five-in-a-row wins the game.
