🛠 About the Product

In Barricade, players move their pieces across the branching game board according to the roll of the die. The wooden barricades provide the game's main tactical element: they can block routes, but can also be moved to open new paths.

As a result, the game is not simply about rolling the right number. Forward planning, choosing the best route and obstructing your opponents all play an important part in reaching the finish first.
