Twisty board game Pentago comes to iPhone
Twist and shout
Proving that board game designers often have the most elegant ideas, UTV Indigames has brought Mindtwister's Pentago game to iPhone.
As its title suggests, it's a game which has you trying to get five black (or white) tokens in a row.
The twist - and in this case it really is a twist - is that the 6 x 6 grid consists of four 3 x 3 grids, and every time you've made a move, you get to rotate any of the four by 90 degrees.
Counter vs counterA two player game, Pentago on iPhone has a Pass N Play mode, or you can play against the artificial intelligence.
Other options include the ability to flip themes, change board styles and unlock medals as you go.
Pentago is out now, priced $1.99, €1.59 or £1.19.
You can see how it plays in the following video.
