Quoridor

Quoridor is an elegant and strategic board game designed for 2 to 4 players. The objective of the game is to be the first player to reach the opposite side of the board with your pawn. However, it's not as simple as it sounds. Players must also employ clever blocking strategies to impede their opponents' progress while finding a path to victory for themselves. The game is played on a grid-based board, and it combines elements of strategy and spatial reasoning. The basic rules of Quoridor involve players taking turns to either move their pawn one space in any direction (up, down, left, or right) or place a wooden fence on the board to block their opponents. Fences are placed vertically or horizontally, and they can be used to create barriers and force opponents to take longer routes. The challenge lies in balancing offense and defense, as you must decide when to move your pawn and when to place fences strategically. The first player to navigate their pawn to the opposite side of the board wins the game, but careful placement of fences and consideration of your opponents' moves are key to success in Quoridor. The abstract strategy game Quoridor is surprisingly deep for its simple rules. The object of the game is to advance your pawn to the opposite edge of the board. On your turn you may either move your pawn or place a wall. You may hinder your opponent with wall placement, but not completely block him off. Meanwhile, he is trying to do the same to you. The first pawn to reach the opposite side wins.
