Pentagame is a novel board game played on a pentagram. It has very simple rules but no dice. It can be played with two, three or four players. Despite being increasingly popular it is an "unsolved" game, in that no perfect solution strategy is known (or even in sight). It has complexity, depth, decisiveness and drama and also clarity, in that it is fun to play without causing (too much of) a headache. A match does not take very long. Besides having fun playing it (pretty much any time on camp, we have a big Pentagame table at c-base Village) you are invited to join us in the attempts to once bring this online to a digital version, and make it more popular in general. The easy rules are available in English, German, Plattdeutsch, French, Spanish, Indonesian, Latin, Georgian and simplified and traditional Chinese. Repo for the rules is here: https://github.com/penta-jan/Pentagame-Rulesheets c-base will also host a tournament in Berlin on September 5th.
