Brilliantly designed and beautifully implemented, this is our generation's equivalent of Chess, though more fast-paced and creative. The premise of the game is simple: try to move your single pawn to reach the opposite side of the square board. Walls may not be jumped, including when moving laterally due to a pawn or wall being behind a jumped pawn. So, each turn, you get to choose whether to (a) advance your pawn one space orthogonally or (b) erect a wall.

Quoridor is based on an earlier game, namely Blockade (also known as Cul-de-sac), invented by Philip Slater in 1975.

However, a wall may not be placed which cuts off the only remaining path of any pawn to the side of the board it must reach. Students of the University of Edinburgh have studied the opening in an AI 2021 course and discovered that it is not a particularly strong opening.NESW notation is relatively hard to follow because if one does not know the pawns location, it must be traced again from the starting position. SIMPLE RULES: Be the first to reach the other side of the board by moving your pawn across the grid or placing a fence to block your opponent's movement. SMALLER, SAME AMOUNT OF FUN: This compact edition lets you enjoy the satisfying strategy anywhere, with all the fun of the base game at 70% of the size. One Instagram and TikTok board game channel says Quoridor was instrumental to growing their account.
