Board Game - Pentago

Pentago — is a board game that combines elements of strategy and logic. It involves two players, each controlling their own marbles on the game board.
 
Rules of the game:
The main objective of the game — is to line up five... of your marbles in a row, while the board can be rotated, adding an element of surprise and complicating the strategy. Players can collect any of the yet-uncompleted patterns shown on the open cards. When it's your turn, choose a marble and place it anywhere on the board. A placed marble cannot be moved anymore. Then select one of the rotating quarters of the game board and rotate it in either direction by 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise. The next turn goes to the player on your left. If you create a pattern that matches the image on one of the cards, the player who played before you is eliminated from the game. If all marbles have already been placed, you can take any marble from the game board and place it in a free cell. However, you cannot move the marble that was just placed by the player who went before you. 
 
When 2 people play: the first one to create the pattern shown on the card wins.
 
When 3 or 4 people play: if you created one of the task patterns, then the player whose turn was before you is eliminated for not preventing you from winning.
 
Take the task card with the pattern you created and remove it from the game. The remaining players must create one of the yet-uncompleted patterns, and again someone will be eliminated.
 
Victory:
The one who remains in the game last, when all others are eliminated, wins.
