BeeFreeThe board game where you block your opponent with walls
Two pawns, a handful of walls, and a race to the other side. If you remember a strategy game where you build a maze to slow the other player down, you are probably thinking of Quoridor – and you can play a free version of it right here.
How the wall game works
Each player starts on opposite sides of a square grid. On your turn you either move your pawn one step or place a wall between the squares. Walls block movement, so the board slowly turns into a maze. The only limit: you can never completely shut a player in – there must always be a way through. First to the far side wins.

Many names, one idea
People search for this kind of game in many ways: a maze board game, a wall placement game, a barricade game, a blockade or fence game, a corridor game, or a pathfinding strategy game. They all describe the same family of abstract strategy games: you race to a goal while building obstacles for your opponent. Quoridor, first published by Gigamic in 1997, made this idea famous.
