Description
Barricade is a classic board game. All roads should lead to the same goal ... ... but you don't lead the way or your fellow players put in barricades. Self-control, tactics and a bit of luck may still bring you first to the ... common goal. An exciting 'evergreen' for guaranteed successful game nights.

The back of the rule sheet gives some tactical tips. This means that there is more to this game than just rolling, moving, hitting and shifting barricades. Every move has its consequences. When moving a barricade, be careful not to block your own pawns or other pawns to get through suddenly. Fortunately, the game does not require heavy thinking and therefore plays wonderfully in a family context. The wooden halma cones charm, the game board is well thought out and the teasing effect sometimes returns to you.

Barricade (literally: barrage) is a board game with simple rules for 2 to 6 players, a variation on people-worse-you-don't. It is a game of attack and defense, so strategy and luck also play a role through dice.

Each player starts with five pawns. The barricades that block the road are placed at certain strategic points, and the goal is to get rid of these barricades and finally reach the goal. The players all start on one side, the goal is on the other side. In the field there are two "bottlenecks" (bottlenecks) that you have to go through: it is no coincidence that a number of barricades were placed here at the start of the game. Players can hit each other, just like you don't. They can also strike barricades, which in that case may be replaced in any place except the first row. The trick is to get rid of the barricades in this way and place them in such a way that they hinder the opponents optimally. Whoever gets one pawn on the target first wins.
