The first pawn to reach its goal wins. 2. Move one square: On your turn, move your pawn one square up, down, left or right. Walls block movement, so find the shortest open path. 3. Jump face to face: When another pawn stands directly next to you, jump straight over it to the square behind. 4. Step diagonally when blocked: If a wall or the board edge is behind that pawn, step diagonally to either side of it instead. 5. Or place a wall: Instead of moving, place a wall two squares long between squares to slow an opponent down. Walls cannot overlap or cross, and every wall you place comes from your limited supply. 6. Never trap anyone: Every pawn must always keep at least one open route to its goal. A wall that would seal anyone in is not allowed. 7. Race home: Balance moving and blocking. Save walls for the moment an opponent is about to break away, and reach your goal first to win. ## FAQ ### How do you play War Blocker? Each player races a pawn to the opposite side of the board.
