Alright, so this is a cool little board game called Connect 5. The way it works is, you and your opponent take turns placing colored stones on the board. The goal is to be the first one to get five of your stones in a row, either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. But it's not just about lining up your own stones - you also need to capture your opponent's stones by flanking them with your own. If you can surround a pair of your opponent's stones, you get to remove them from the board. The first player to either get five in a row or capture five pairs of their opponent's stones wins the game. Pretty neat, right?
