Regulate

A = correct blockade with the wall B = incorrect

The playing field consists of 9x9 fields and the goal is, with its own character to reach the opposite side of the board first. At the start, each player has still some walls: 20 are allocated equally between the players. It is played in turn, while the piece may (if the path is not blocked ) are moved in all four directions. The player can be used instead of a train his character also set a 2 fields long wall and so the path of the opponent block - or to keep open a corridor. It should be noted that after each train all political parties must have the opportunity to reach their target site and that they themselves do not cross the wall stones.
