About Connect6
Connect6 is a modern connection strategy game with a balancing twist. After Black's first move, both players place two stones each turn.
That simple change reduces the usual first-move advantage and creates rich positions where you must attack and defend at the same time.
Play Connect6 vs AI
Play Connect6 online against the computer to practice building threats with two-stone turns and parrying your opponent's threats efficiently.
Try to place your two stones so they support each other: one extends a line, the other protects a key intersection or starts a second threat.
How to play Connect6
Black places one stone on the first turn. After that, each player places exactly two stones per turn on empty intersections.
You win by creating an unbroken line of six or more stones horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Improve by learning strategy
Connect6 strategy is about threat management. Because each player gets two placements, pure defense is difficult and often loses.
Look for moves that force your opponent to spend one stone defending, then use your second stone to keep initiative or create a second independent threat.
