pinigin
Pinigin is a traditional Filipino board game that originated from the Ilocano region in the northern Philippines. The game is played on a board with a grid of 121 squares, arranged in a 11x11 pattern, resembling a larger version of the classic game of Go-moku. It is often considered a variant of the Chinese game *Gobang* or *Five in a Row*, where players aim to connect five of their markers in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Pinigin is typically played with two players, each using a set of markers, often small stones, beads,
Pinigin is not only a game of strategy but also carries cultural significance in Filipino communities. It
