Directions for Playing

Go Bang

This popular game is similar to the one said to have originated in India. With a sharp knife or shears cut off end of this sheet at dotted line on the other side, and trim around the disks.

Each player selects the counters of one color (taking all of same). Counters of two different colors are provided – hence only two can play. It is the aim of each player to get five of his own disks in a row, and at the same time prevent his opponent from so doing by placing his disks so as to block them. The game is commenced by one of the players laying one of his disks on any one of the squares on the board, the other playing in turn in like manner. Players may place their disks in turn, one at a time, on any squares they choose, not already occupied. When a player has three disks in a row, he opponent should “block” him by playing his disks at either end of the row.

The player who first succeeds in getting five of his disks in a straight or diagonal row, wins the game and say “Go Bang.”
