Info About Barricade
Have you ever toyed with a board game that lets you literally block your friends from winning? That’s Barricade, originally known as Malefiz in its native Germany. On the surface it’s a simple pawn race where you roll the dice to move one of your four pieces around a winding track, but the twist really comes from those pesky barricade tokens scattered across the board.
Each turn you decide whether to advance a pawn or pick up a barricade and drop it anywhere else, creating fresh hurdles that can derail someone else’s strategy. Land on a barricade and you get the power to toss it into a new spot—often right in the path of your nearest competitor. By the time your opponents blink, they’re navigating a maze of your creation, and that unexpected chaos is half the fun.
It’s shocking how quickly that lighthearted feel turns into a tense standoff. Barricade strikes an awesome balance between luck—thanks to the dice—and tactical cunning as you juggle offense and defense. Folks of all ages can jump in and start learning in minutes, but the sneaky depth keeps everyone coming back for more and laughing at every near-miss and perfect block.
