Quoridor - Over 1 Million Sold! Mensa Select Winner | Wooden Abstract Strategy Game for Adults and Families | Ages 8+ | 2 to 4 Players | 1 Minute to Learn, 15 Minutes to Play

I had seen ads for Quoridor for a while and finally decided to give it a shot. My friend and I decided to 'try it out' late one night and were immediately hooked. We played for hours and had a blast. The concept of the game is super simple but there are lots of different strategies. I have only played 1v1 so I can't speak to the 4 player game play, but if you're looking for a great game to add to the collection I highly recommend Quoridor.

Great game with endless possibilities. A game may only take a couple of minutes, but it's a matter of seconds to set back up. Good quality wood pieces, which is rare these days.

This is an excellent strategy game for two or four players that you can learn all of the rules of in less than five minutes. The strategic element, however, can take forever.The goal is simple - get your pawn to the other side of the board, which starts off empty. On your turn you can make one of two moves - either move your pawn one square adjacent, or put down one of your ten fences. The fences are impassable, and you place them to hinder your opponent's progress. The only rule about placement is that you cannot make it COMPLETELY impossible for your opponent (or yourself) to get to the other side. Backtrack the entire way? Go for it!I have only two complaints, neither of which are severe enough to lower this to a four-star ratings.The first is that the pawns are slightly too big, or the board is slightly too small. Because there are notches cut into the board to place the fences in, and the pawns are exactly the size of the space they sit on, it's very easy to knock them around when you're trying to place a fence.The other is that the board could have been better designed to accomodate four players. The gameplay has no issue with four players, and is loads of chaotic fun. There's just no storage space for the 3rd and 4th player to hold their fences, but it's not a big deal, you can just hold them in your hand or on the table. It just seems odd that the game designer built spots for two players to hold fences but not for four.Either way, this is a fantastic game that can be played in under ten minutes with a depth of strategy and simple rules. I highly recommend it.

Every game played is different! Keeps the strategies fresh and fun. We really enjoy playing this game with two people!

The game itself is 5 stars easy! My 5 and 7 year old can both play easily and competitively with me. The board itself has some paint chipping off a little on corners and the wooden pieces are difficult to place in some spots.

The family enjoyed playing and found it to be quite fun.

I played this game a number of years ago at my sisters house and liked it so much I wanted my own. Some games last too long or get old after playing them for a while. This does not. It is a nice addition to mix things up in your board game collection. After you think you can beat anyone at it, their strategy can have you rework your own strategy to win. It can be played with 4 people as well but I have not tried it that way yet.As far as the board and pieces themselves, they are made of wood. Solid stuff. Would be a great gift item for someone that likes strategy games but doesn't like to get too in-depth with something. Most games take maybe 15-20 minutes to play, depending on how quickly you make your next move. If someone has to think about all the options in a game like this for every move, might take longer.I am excited to try their other similiar games.

My son got this for Christmas he's 12 and my daughter is 5 and she was even playing it's absolutely a great game I definitely recommend
