While regular pentagons do not tile the plane, some (non-regular) pentagonal tilings have been introduced. (Furthermore, you can regularly tile hyperbolic space with pentagons; I don't think I've seen such a game yet.) One obvious challenge to pentagonal cells (indeed to any cell with an odd number of sides) is that sliders require a somewhat different approach.
