My dad is a board game fanatic so I've played this game many a time, and in my entire family, everytime without fail, my sister wins. We have no idea why, its just how it's happened. Every. Single. Time.
That’s a neat game actually. Certainly easier to understand than chess. I work with mental health clients and we sometimes like to play board games to help calm down our clients while also gathering them together to talk about certain things. One v one board games are great for individual sessions. Its very effective to help people who are very anxious to keep them distracted
It's always fun making your opponent go one direction while still giving them another path, then blocking the path they're taking forcing them to go the long way
This is the sort of game that's probably fun for about the first half but then it becomes very obvious at a certain point who's going to win and you still have to play it out.
it looks like the winning strat is always moving ur pawn forward, unless u can block the opponent with a large enough wall that does not block you as well
I could try playing it replacing the "you cannot block them in" with "you can remove one fence per round" which would make for since interesting gameplay
It reminds me a lot of tic-tac-toe, you get bored with it really fast because once you get the centerpiece it's over, the only time you lose if you have the centerpiece is if you think you're being clever
I have never played it but I love the idea of building a wall and making the oppenent forced to decide to go left or right, knowing very well that I will block that direction once the opening is reached.
I think it might just be optimal to move every turn? The walls can't make more than one horizontal or vertical continuation slow them down, so placing a wall just makes you slow down by not moving at all
I figured out how to end the game in a draw. When your opponent makes the first move of the game, block them horizontally. Keep doing this, because from what I can tell, you can either move horizontally or vertically, not diagonally, meaning after you block the movement, they have to move sideways, and when your turn comes, block them again horizontally. There are enough walls to cover a whole section, and since you put the walls up in front of them, you can't get to the other side either, hence it is a draw as they cannot move past the first line they originally had their piece on, and you can't get to their side due to the blockade.
i was playing this game weekly before i left and move to my own house,my family wanted the game because they played the game more casually than me,so i did what they want and left it there. (this much space wasnt needed...like,at all.i did it anyways.) (seriously tho,this much space REALLY wasnt needed,like,i need to stop myself!) worst mistake of my life
If you havent yet, you should try a game called baduk its got similar rules but without the moving its avoyt capturing territory, very fun and good for any level player once you understand the basics
I hope you see this because me and my friend made this game for a project for school with the exact rules and concept and had no idea it existed already, really cool
I remember my brother let me win at board games all the time, and I could easily see times where he sold the bag for no reason, that made it not fun. But now we dusted off the old monopoly set and spent 4 hours playing monopoly with no punches held back and I gotta say it's more fun that anything in a while. Prolly gonna bring out risk next week
It's a bit like a game my dad had shown me. You get 6 pawns (can move sideways as well) on a chessboard at one end and the other player gets a king in the middle on the other side and the king tries to get to the other side. Each player has to make a move in their turn. I hope I got the rules correct. Haven't played it in 20 years and forgot the name as well.
A cool rule might be you can block people in but they can use their turn to remove a piece, and the person who does the trapping cant place a new piece their next turn.
What was the strategy the AI ended up preferring? Blocking or moving? I have never played it but seems like mainly moving is a better strategy rather than blocking. Only blocking once needed
@@vanidemo ay sry, the game we worked our AI was called Blockade, similar game to this one but in the same turn you move and then block the opponent, we made our ai prefer to block paths that is the shortest from our opponent and his objective. We used algorithm min-max with alpha beta pruning
If one player focuses on blocking and the other focuses on mainly moving towards the objective, won’t the player moving the most often be the one who most likely wins?
Thanks for all the comments - check rules on below link :

Looks like a fun game, I’ll have to try it
İts so fun
Me too! It seems so fun!
Yea it's so fun
It is not lol
@@highdefinition450 boring?
It’s fun especially when you make your opponent go through pure hell
EDIT:fixed my spelling
When you left 2 spots that are on the side of the ground and when your friend come to one you closing it :D
I love when there so close and then I block then and they have to go all the way around
@@JimmyMcGil yess yesss
I got you to 666 likes :)
Thanks for all the likes and comments 😊

She is the Puzzlemaster 😮.. has anyone ever tried mirroring her moves and walls to see what happens?
@@WereWade yep, she wins anyways.
My mans living in the middle tv show lol
She is the queen-idor…. Quoridor queen sounds better
İt means she is quite strategic
I've had this really old version of quoridor for the past 9 years or so and me and my family fucking love it. Its such a good game
Is it played with mice instead of pawns by any chance? We also got an old version of this with a purple board and mice
This is how the backrooms work everyone
but with unused assets from life itself
@@firdanharbima6997 exactally
That’s… no
@@PieIsGud2808 that’s…yes
@@PieIsGud2808 that’s…yes
I played this at a board game cafe with my family, I won.
Just curious but wouldnt making an ai for that just be it seeing what moves would bring it to victory like with chess ai?
@@Quatro921 Yeah Kinda.
This game is on VRChat and I've spent literal years looking for the name of the game and now I know!! Thank you so much!
Ahhhh so it’s nothing original, thanks for the inside info 😂
@@pipedgolf4634 I mean the game IS original, I legitimately don't know where or when it came first.
Four person would be kickass
I love this game
I used to love this game as a kid
Fun game, bought it years ago. Fun for all ages and up to 4 players too.
This is very fun, two other games by the same company are pylos(pyramid stacking game) and Quroto(complicated horizontal connect 4) both are very fun!
This is really weird but Webkinz used to have a version of this but with a pond and ducks and cattails as barricades. I used to play it all the time

I feel like whoever moves first probably wins most of the time.
Having first move, yes, gives you a nice little edge.
This actually looks fun
I didn't know anyone even knew this game existed. I haven't played it 8n years, but still have it.
Discovered this game through Gali No Tsukai. Hilarious episode.
It's always fun making your opponent go one direction while still giving them another path, then blocking the path they're taking forcing them to go the long way
I love this game i played it so many times
This is an awesome game it's soo much fun
how many people here spotted Tina Fey's quoridor board on the desk in Mean Girls?
This is the sort of game that's probably fun for about the first half but then it becomes very obvious at a certain point who's going to win and you still have to play it out.
that looks like allot of fun!
hii hope you are doing great.
i want to ask have you ever played this game???
Looks fun honestly
it looks like the winning strat is always moving ur pawn forward, unless u can block the opponent with a large enough wall that does not block you as well
I suggest when everyone reaches the middle, you start blocking since that's the funniest
I could try playing it replacing the "you cannot block them in" with "you can remove one fence per round" which would make for since interesting gameplay
Everyone is gangsta till the pawn got taken out by a Bishop that is on chess
This game is so fun
I have this game at my home it's really fun.
It looks fun, but unless there’s extra rules it ends up being basically tic tac toe but with extra steps where the person who goes first always wins
Nostalgia, I played this game 5 years ago
Now I'll have to put this on my wishlist
hii hope you are doing great✨
is it still in your wishlist or have you brought it??or ever played it??
Looks cool.
Try Blokus too.
The two player strategy game for two players.
I love this game! I picked it up at a game swap and it's a favourite for quick play now
It reminds me a lot of tic-tac-toe, you get bored with it really fast because once you get the centerpiece it's over, the only time you lose if you have the centerpiece is if you think you're being clever
Looks fun af

I have this in my personal collection its so fun
Kinda reminds me of one of my favorite childhood games, Twixt.
Holy shit, my teacher had this game in the second grade. You just unlocked a memory I had no idea I had.
This game is so addictive and we're playing it witb whole family. And we're fighting each other to see who's best 😆😆
Quoridor is a great game! Yall should also check out the other games from their company, Gigamic. Personal favorites are this, Quarto, and Pylos
the person that goes first has a huge advantage, unless there is another rule that nutralizes that
Have a vintage version
Back in the day we called it pathfinder
Corridor is a great game, a good game to get your brain going
i have this game since ages in my house
never thought i would see anyone present it on internet
i was playing this game weekly before i left and move to my own house,my family wanted the game because they played the game more casually than me,so i did what they want and left it there.
(this much space wasnt needed...like,at all.i did it anyways.)
(seriously tho,this much space REALLY wasnt needed,like,i need to stop myself!)
worst mistake of my life

Reminds me of don't break the ice
I played this with my grand father. Good times.
Looks fun
Well she had a head start
I completely forgot about that game. I have it and have for like 6 years but I haven’t played it in like 3 years. Thank you for reminding me of it.
It's a bit like a game my dad had shown me.

Seems like fun😆
Azul is interesting too
Good to see people playing with their kids using physical stuff and not living through iPads
Me and my friends played this alot in school
I remember playing this at elementary school it was hella fun to play, i forgot that this game exists until this video, thank man!
This game was fun, me and my brother tried it and its fun
that looks very cool
I have never heard of this game until now.
So, basically an updated version of Shuttles
I played a game when I was younger called cul de sac. Apparently that game was made in 1975, and the game in this video is based off of it.
Chess but remove 15 pieces
It’s easy to break. So long as your opponent doesn’t catch on.
That looks fun I might have to get that
This game looks like it’s whoever moves first wins
Mini back rooms
Yeah, it's a brilliant game, and you can block yourself off from one side so you can take the shorter way out
A cool rule might be you can block people in but they can use their turn to remove a piece, and the person who does the trapping cant place a new piece their next turn.
I played enough Warcraft 3 tower defenses to know how to build
Perfect for squid game show
Saw this at gencon this year, was pretty neat! Was going to pick it up but had other things to buy.
I'm so bad at this I always f myself up
Seems fun, one problem: it also seems like it requires friends
Lmao it's like if Chess and Fortnite had a collab
Oh hey i know this game, for an AI course in my uni we had to make an AI opponent, shits hard
What was the strategy the AI ended up preferring? Blocking or moving? I have never played it but seems like mainly moving is a better strategy rather than blocking. Only blocking once needed

Just when I started getting a hang of chess and then super chess comes up.
The life of a pond
In Australia it's "make us money"
Love this game play it with my wife all the time
I’ve played the mouse version of this game
I feel like this game can be solved pretty easily.
I want to make this a dnd puzzle
Imagine being named after furniture
If one player focuses on blocking and the other focuses on mainly moving towards the objective, won’t the player moving the most often be the one who most likely wins?
Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today!
An important rule is that if you'd land on your opponent, you leapfrog instead
Does that work through corners too?
or you can intentionally place the walls in such a way that if the opponent places a wall it would block your parn off
Imagine a mix of chess & corridor
bruh i made this game in grade 3 without knowing this existed
