Starting position with 4 players
A = correct blockage with the wall
B = incorrect

The playing field consists of 9 × 9 fields and the goal is to be the first to reach the opposite side of the board with your own piece. At the beginning, each player still has a few walls: 20 pieces are distributed fairly between the players. It is played in turn, the token (provided the path is not blocked) can be moved in all four directions. Instead of a move of his pawn, the player can also place a 2-square-long wall and thus block the path of the opponent - or keep a corridor open. It should be noted that after each move, all parties must still have the opportunity to reach their target page and that they are not allowed to cross the wall stones themselves.
