Like tic tac toe but with five signs

Game for two, in which the objective is to align five cubes of the same symbol in any of the directions: vertical, horizontal or diagonal.

It must begin by placing the cubes upside down, so that the sign cannot be seen;

it is decided by consensus who starts and who will be X and who will be O. Then, alternatively, the cubes are raised starting from the outer rows, never from the inner ones.

Of course, the raised cube cannot be placed in the same place, but must be moved (to the right of the hole, to the left of the hole, up or down).

The usual tic-tac-toe game, but a bit more complicated.
