Barricade Board Game

Barricade

A race and a blockade at the same time. Get your pawn to the far side of the board before your opponent gets theirs — and spend a limited supply of walls to make their journey longer. Ranked 1v1 and 2v2 online, private rooms with a code, and offline play against a bot.

📖 How to Play

1

Choose Your Mode

Tap the Barricade card, then pick 1v1 or 2v2 ranked, a Private Room you join with a 5-character code, or an offline game against the bot.

2

Move or Place a Wall

On your turn you do exactly one of two things: move your pawn one square, or place one wall. You start with a fixed number of walls and once they are gone, all you can do is move.

3

You Can Never Seal Someone In

This is the rule that makes the game fair. A wall is illegal if it would leave any player with no route at all to their goal. You can make someone go the long way round; you can never trap them.

4

Jumping

If the two pawns end up face to face, you jump straight over your opponent. If a wall sits directly behind them, you go around them diagonally instead.

5

Reach the Other Side

The first player to reach any square on the opposite side wins. In 2v2 you and your partner share the goal, and a seat left empty by a player who quits is taken over by a bot so the game never dies.

Tip 💡: Walls are worth more late than early. Spend them when your opponent is close to home and has fewer squares to work with — a wall placed at the start is usually just a small detour.
