Thank you for taking the time to create and post this video. I've always enjoyed Quoridor. It's a fun little abstract strategy game that isn't too "deep" and doesn't take too long to play. It's also a nice "coffee table" game... the board looks good on a coffee table, and just invites people to play. I have a larger, "deluxe" version that I purchased many years ago on eBay, that was made by another company. I found it interesting that you set up the board with the unplayed walls (fences) on the _side_ of the board. I've always set up the board and played where each player's walls were directly in front of them. (Not that it matters, of course.) But it seems easier to remember that your walls are the ones directly in front of you, as opposed to remembering that they are on the left or right.
@krazee_aznnn6 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching! Yeah, they sell several different versions of the game, including a travel sized one. The version that I have in the video actually has the slots on the sides for your walls (they are actually not part of the 9x9 grid, where those walls sit pre-played). The travel version doesn't have those slots, so it is less confusion for players when they have their walls in front of them.

Hello! According the the normal base rules, yes, a wall can touch the middle of another one like a T. That being said, you can also place a wall between two wall to make it look like a + or a lower case t.

What stops the player that goes first from just bum rushing straight across to victory? Is there a rule that prevents that?

The opponent player is incentivized to place walls to stop that. If the opponent player does not place walls, then... technically nothing. But that would indicate a very poor opponent.

@thereddrob7 жыл бұрын
what if you use the four person rules but with two players where each player is controlling two pawns and the goal is to get either one to the other side, have you tried that? seems less susceptible to the center wall thing
@krazee_aznnn7 жыл бұрын
I haven't seen that, but just having 4 players makes it much more difficult to do the wall thing because each of the 4 players needs to have an existing path to get to the other side.

I am sure that is what I told you in the video, because honestly, it doesn't matter that much in a 2 player game. However, if you are curious, the rule booklet actually says you need to start in the center of your side (much more important in a 3 or 4 player game, but that also reduces the number of walls each player gets). I'm just hoping it generally picks up as a 2 player VS game, because when you introduce a third player, it's much less about strategy and more about king making (read as "diplomacy").

Does the player who goes first have an advantage?
@krazee_aznnn10 жыл бұрын
If you are not into computer science, game theory, or strongly solved games (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solved_game), then no. I do not believe that the player going first has any advantage. If that answer was satisfactory, you may disregard the rest. But if you are into computer science, game theory, or solved games, read on. Empirical thoughts: I'm not sure if Quoridor has been solved, but it seems to have been proposed to create an agent that could possibly figure it out: project.dke.maastrichtuniversity.nl/games/files/bsc/Mertens_BSc-paper.pdf This is also based on the assumption that you play by standard rules and start in the center of your side (and not the way I prefer to play). But there are most certainly strategies that will confound or mess with an "optimal" strategy. Personal Intuition: I bet that if the first player has an advantage, it probably isn't large enough to justify a claim that "going first always allows you to win". I've had enough wins going second (even against similarly skilled players) that if the advantage exists, it is probably very small (possibly similar to chess; white's win percentage is somewhere between 52-56%, according to Wikipedia). I feel that at the beginner to novice level of playing, there is no difference going first or second. I feel the intermediate level of play, there might be first player's disadvantage. Optimal and expert play is unknown- because there aren't any renown "experts" in Quoridor as far as I know, but in this case if there is an advantage, there might actually be a first player's advantage. Purely speculation though.
@MagicByEli6 жыл бұрын
Nam Ngo My hunch is that under standard rules the player going second actually has the advantage in quoridor. The player who goes first must put down a wall first because otherwise the player going second would jump over him.
@himabimdimwim3 жыл бұрын
@@MagicByEli hi! I actually use that to my advantage. When I go first, I let the other player jump me, and then I place a wall between them and my home line. Since I have the "first wall of objective" advantage, I can box then in and make them take the path I want.
