It's all about strategy in Kwalee's new turned-based game Gobang Social. The object of the game is simple--line up 5 bombs to win, but the concept is just as addicting as simple when you face off against other players and attempt to line your bombs up while blocking your opponent.
To celebrate the release of Gobang Social, Kwalee blew up a brand new iPad which was running their game moments before its death. You can check out the video from the event below, and to make sure there are no hard feelings from destroying the iOS device, Kwalee will be giving away a new iPad in a new contest that you can read about below. You can also download the game for free in the App Store and read on for more details!
