Race your pawn to the opposite side of the board while placing wooden fences to slow your opponent — every fence you place can be countered, making this abstract game a brilliant spatial puzzle.

The Essentials

Rules

  • Each player starts a pawn on their own edge of the 9x9 board and must reach the opposite edge to win.
  • On your turn, either move your pawn one square, or place one of your ten fences to block a path.
  • A fence must always leave every player at least one open route to their goal.
  • If your pawn lands next to an opponent's, you may jump straight over it, or diagonally if a fence blocks the straight jump.

Tips

  • Don't spend all your fences early; save a few for when the opponent gets close to winning.
  • Every fence you place also costs you a turn, so weigh blocking against just racing ahead.
  • Watch for fence combinations that trap you as much as your opponent.
  • Counting squares to the goal before each move helps you judge whether to race or block.
