Five Field Kono (오밭고누) is a traditional Korean abstract strategy game that combines simplicity with deep tactical thinking. Similar to games like Chinese checkers or Halma, the objective is to outmaneuver your opponent by relocating all of your pieces to the starting positions of their pieces. The first player to successfully move all five pieces to the opposing side wins the game, making it a race of strategy, foresight, and careful planning.
Players take turns moving one piece at a time, with each move consisting of a single diagonal step to an adjacent empty square. Unlike games with jumping mechanics, Five Field Kono restricts movement to one space per turn, emphasizing positional play and long-term planning over quick captures or leaps. This creates a balanced and engaging challenge where every move counts.
