We will present a simple and elegant board game, Connect 5 (suggestions for a better name are welcome) and provide a boisterous, yet brief introduction to the theory of k,m,n games (think connect 4, tac-tac-toe, and so on.) We will have ample time and space to play 2-dimensional connect 5, connect 4, and tic-tac-toe, as well as those games projected into higher dimensions.
