Thwart: The Edinburgh Game of Walls

Game ID: GID0356668
Collection Status
Description

A mix of Backgammon and Quoridor, with very high production values.

The game is played on a square lattice, with pieces on the squares and "walls" in the ridges.
The two player sit at a 90° angle, rather than facing each other, i.e. one player moves left-to-right, while the other bottom-to-top.

The objective is to move the pieces on the other side of the board while blocking the opponent with the walls.

Both pieces and walls are moved according to the throw of a 4-sided dice.
