How to Play Quoridor
The objective is simple: move your pawn to the opposite side of the board before your opponent does. Walls are your tool for making their trip longer than yours.
- Race to the other sideYour pawn starts in the middle of your edge and must reach any square on the far edge.
- Move or place a wallOn each turn you either step your pawn or place one wall.
- Never seal the pathA wall is only legal if both players still have a legal path to their goal.
Why the walls matter
A good wall costs you one turn but costs your opponent several. Judging that trade, again and again, is the whole game.
A Strategy Board Game of Movement and Tactics
There are no dice, cards or hidden information. Every game is decided by what you plan and what you notice.
- Route planningCount the shortest path for both pawns before every move.
- BlockingPlace walls that force long detours, not walls that add a single step.
- TimingYou only have 10 walls, so choose the moment each one pays off most.
- Anticipating your opponentThink about where their pawn is heading and which walls they could play next.
