board game: Pentago

Originating with designer Tomas Floden in Sweden, the Pentago strategy game reimplements the well known Connect 4 with a twist: after placing a marble, the player has to twist one of the grids by 90°, thus changing the board after every turn. The first player to get five marbles in a row wins. Besides winning awards in Sweden, the game won a Mensa Select award in the United States, in 2006.
