Barricade: Original Strategy Based Boardgame
Barricade is a simple and original strategy-based board game that is suitable for players of all ages. Inspired by the famous "pawn race" board games, Barricade offers a unique gameplay experience. The aim of the game is to be the first player to reach the "final" square with one of your pawns, while your opponents try to block your path. With its Java-based platform, Barricade requires Java 1.5 or above to work and does not require installation.
Barricade stands out with its multiplayer mode, allowing up to four players to compete simultaneously. This makes it a great choice for families or game nights with friends. The game offers a fine balance between attacking enemies, protecting your pawns, and strategic grouping. Luck also plays a role, as even when you seem to be losing, one of your pawns can turn the game in your favor. While the graphics are basic and the music can become repetitive, Barricade manages to be an addictive little game.
