Created a budget-friendly Quoridor tabletop game with a materials cost of approximately 5 Euros. I've already made a few for my friends. Material type isn't critical; choose one that won't result in lifted edges as these are bit larger prints.
Print 20 walls and 4 pawns (either in different colors or in white for later painting).
There are an 8mm holes for feets on the base for rubber feets which u can get on aliexpress.
2-4 Players. Place pawns in the center of the first line of each side of the board. If only 2 players are playing place pawns on oposite sides.
Then take 10 fences each. Each player in turn, chooses to move his pawn or to put up one of his fences. When he has run out of fences, the player must move his pawn.
The fences must be placed between 2 sets of 2 squares.
By placing fences, you force your opponent to move around it and increase the number of moves they need to make. But be careful, you are not allowed to lock up to lock up your opponents pawn, it must always be able to reach it's goal by at least one square.
The pawns must bypass the fences.
The pawns are moved one square at a time, horizontally or vertically, forwards or backwards, never diagonally.
If, while you move, you face your opponent's pawn you can jump over, thus advancing an extra square. If there is a fence behind the said pawn, the player can place his pawn to the left or the right of the opponents pawn.
The first player who reaches one of the 9 squares opposite his base line is the winner.
The author marked this model as their own original creation.
