Description
Quoridor is an abstract strategy game in which each player tries to be the first to bring their pawn to the opposite edge of a board with 81 squares. You shape your own path: with wooden walls you can block a shortcut for your opponent or protect your own. This is the Slovenian edition with Slovenian rules.
How to play Quoridor
Each player places their pawn in the middle of their starting row and gets 10 walls in a two-player game, or 5 walls in a four-player game. On your turn, you either move your pawn one square forward, backward, left or right, or place one wall.
A wall always blocks the passage between two pairs of squares, but you must never completely cut off your opponent's path to the goal. When the pawns meet, you can jump over your opponent. The first player to reach any of the nine squares on the opposite side wins.
Why you will love it
- On every turn, you choose between a step forward and a wall that lengthens your opponent's path.
- Walls are scarce, so each one counts – if you use them up too quickly, all you can do afterwards is walk.
- Jumping over your opponent's pawn at the right moment can gain you an extra square.
- There is no luck in the game at all: the player who thinks further ahead wins.
Who is Quoridor for
The game is for two or four players aged 8 and up and lasts 10 to 20 minutes. The rules are fairly simple, and players like it best with two. There is no text on the components, so anyone can play it, regardless of language.
What might you not like?
