Quoridor
Race your pawn to the far side, or place walls to block your opponent's path - there must always be at least one way through.
A strategic board game where you race to reach the opposite side of the board while placing walls to slow your opponent down - but with the crucial rule that a path to the goal must always remain open for both players, adding real tactical depth beyond simple blocking.
Frequently asked questions
Balance advancing your own pawn toward the goal with strategically placing walls to slow your opponent - since a path must always remain open for everyone, you can't simply wall someone in completely, which is what gives the game its tactical depth.
Standard Quoridor rules give each player a limited number of walls (typically 10 in the classic 2-player version), forcing careful decisions about when and where to use them.
Check the game's specific mode options - many implementations offer both an AI opponent and local two-player mode.
