Period Modern

Region Southern Europe, Western Europe

Category Board, Space, Line

Description

Les Pendus is a game of alignment from France. It comes in a three-in-a-row variant and a five-in-a-row variant. It is unknown how old these games are in France, but the boards on which they are played have been common since the Roman (three-in-a-row) or medieval (five-in-a-row) period.

Rules

3x3 board with diagonals. Three pieces per player. Players take turns placing their pieces. Once all pieces have been placed, they may move a piece to any unoccupied spot. The first player to align their three pieces in a row along one of lines on the board is the winner.

Kraitchik 1948: 290-291.

These rules were taken from the Les Pendus ruleset.
