Blockade board game

Blockade is a fun, strategic dice board game that can be played with 2 to 4 people. My grandma always had a classic board game collection with classics like “Mensch ärgere dich nicht” and this game was also included. Since the game collection no longer exists and I wanted to have the game again for a game night, I created this 3D-printed version. If you install the 8*3 mm magnets, you can use the whole thing for traveling.

Game rules and procedure:
First, each player chooses a color. The colors are then placed at the starting points. The blockades (in my case the black pins) are placed as I did. However, I have also placed them differently in the past. Now with the 3D-printed version, you have the freedom to print more and place them freely. Whoever starts can decide the classic way by age, seating order or by rolling the highest number of dice.

The aim of the game is to get to the top step with one of your own pieces. You can move all your pieces forward during the game, but only one of them must actually reach the goal. After rolling the dice, the pieces are moved in any direction according to the number of dice. You must always make your move unless all the pieces are blocked.

The blockades may not be skipped. If you jump exactly on the blockade, you can remove it and place it anywhere on the playing field. Exceptions are the first field in front of the opponent's base.

Pieces (your own and your opponent's) can be jumped over and if you jump onto an opponent's field, you can place their piece back at the start.

You are of course welcome to tighten up or extend the rules. In any case, I always had a lot of fun with it. Moving the blockades tactically without blocking yourself in the worst case is simply a lot of fun. Of course, rolling the dice adds a random component, so you also need a bit of luck.

Have fun with it.

Note:
The dice is very simple, so feel free to use it only as a makeshift solution and otherwise use something of your own or print something from someone else.

Magnets are 8*3 mm
