OPUS MAP
Realtime Global Gomoku
The Network
OPUS MAP is a live tactical command interface for global Gomoku competition. Every pin on the world map marks an active stadium — a realtime arena where strategy unfolds stone by stone.
Each stadium hosts exactly two players at a time. Everyone else enters as a spectator, watching the match unfold live from anywhere on Earth. Every arena carries its own board identity — stone palettes and atmosphere can differ from city to city, but the rules of play stay the same everywhere.
How It Works
- Tap a pin to enter that stadium’s live room
- Two seats per arena — take a seat to play, or watch as a spectator
- Challenge the reigning player or face Opus Map Staff in solo mode
- Matches sync instantly across the network
Gomoku Rules
Gomoku is a classic two-player strategy game on a grid of intersecting lines. On OPUS MAP, each side is shown with its own stone style — the exact look depends on the stadium you are in, but the logic is always the same.
- 01 Two sides — Player 1 and Player 2 each control one stone set. One side opens; turns then alternate until the match ends.
- 02 One stone per turn — on your turn, place exactly one stone on any empty intersection.
- 03 Five in a row wins — the first side to connect five of their own stones in an unbroken line — horizontal, vertical, or diagonal — wins the match.
- 04 Winning line — when a match is decided, the five winning stones are highlighted on the board so everyone can see the decisive formation.
