Quoridor - How To Play

[@toweypat]

Quite quickly you posted quality videos about Quart and Quaridor! You're quilling it! I mean, killing it.

[@CovertIndian]

Just got this game, had a few doubts and this video covers every possible scenario, got my answers. Thank you

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome - so glad it was helpful!

[@louisjohnday1249]

Hello there, Rodney! Played this tonight with my girlfriend at a board game themed bar. We asked the waiter to pick us a game and he gave us this! What a flipping treat, has Christmas come early! Anyway, love your work, love this game.

[@WatchItPlayed]

It's a clever game, right? Glad you enjoyed the video Louis :)

[@LucianoHilton]

I'm loving these abstract games. I just bought Quarto yesterday and have plans to buy Quixo or Pylos.

[@clintamstrup3744]

If you like this game you might want to check out Mazing. Very similar and really fun. amzn.to/2P9SkLM

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you've enjoyed Quarto!

[@Redfangs-Timeroler]

I have this game from like 20 years ago. Highest quality. Also own quarto from same time period.

[@TheQueerLeaf]

Redfangs Timeroler same

[@codyeveryday5432]

Getting better at that flip!

[@phantomxyz2530]

I had a question regarding the game like supposedly in a situation there are 2 walls are placed vertically straight covering 4 boxes then can there be 1 horizontally placed in between those two. For example --l-- . Here -- and l is representing walls.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey there, I'm always happy to try to help with rules questions, but if the answer is provided in the video, than I have to direct you there. You'll find an index in the description to help you find the section you might be looking for.

[@phantomxyz2530]

@@WatchItPlayed Thank you for the instant reply but there is a section on frames placing but my doubt is not the same , i need to know that when there is 2 frames placed like this-- then can one frame be placed like this -|- in between those 2

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@phantomxyz2530 I believe that is shown to be a legal placement here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHq2o6ieg5V7mZI

[@fb1874]

Rodney you are always the best! Your tutorials are perfect!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very kind of you to say - thanks!

[@FrankMinogue]

These are definitely interesting games. I am not sure if they will make their way to our table, as we tend to go for more of the board game genre! But I am enjoying the exposure to these games!

[@MeepleMentor]

Thanks for the abstract game recommendations!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You’re very welcome. Glad you enjoyed!

[@sadjoypaul]

Thanks for your videos man ! Verry profesional and friendly in the same time :) Paul from Romania !

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks Paul, greetings from Canada!

[@RelaxGamesForFreeTime]

the best explanation for this game, thank you 😊

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very kind of you to say!

[@Jakob_Price]

Is there a video on your storage shelves? I really like their design and layout.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks - they were custom made by a local carpenter. Don't have a video on them.

[@kiethmcgovern]

Great video. Really well explained.

[@chrisabaird]

Looks like a fun game. Thanks for the review.

[@WatchItPlayed]

A pleasure - thanks for checking it out!

[@Jethinobamino]

Can you put block on the edge of the board only blocking one square while the other half end of the wood sticking out of the field?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Nope. They must have two squares on each side.

[@DECrissman]

oh you got me, I though "how could Rodney let that one baseline piece stick out" and then you use it in the demonstration.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Ha :)

[@willschmitt349]

Can you move a wall after it’s placed?.. or is it there for the rest of the game?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Once placed, they stay where they are.

[@fabianolivera9404]

Hi! Is it possible to put a fence vertically, I mean blocking only one square? I’m playing with my 7 year-old son and that may define if he wins or not! 😅

[@listan6035]

I'm sorry for you or your son, but it's not possible to put them vertically sorryyy :) I hope you have fun with it nevertheless

[@WatchItPlayed]

Listan below has it right. Have fun in your next match up!

[@fabianolivera9404]

Thank you guys! Unfortunatelly for me, he won that match! hehe. Great game. Cheers from Uruguay.

[@Koubiak]

Instant thumbs up.

[@CristoBatal]

Heres one situation, if both of our pawns are facing each other, is it possible for me to move diagonally but backwards?

[@WatchItPlayed]

The rules do not provide that as an option.

[@LorenzoLiverani]

Thanks for the video. I do not understand what are those 2 black "cables" you have to position at the beginning. Only for 2 players?

[@WatchItPlayed]

It’s just an extra way of identifying the base line you are trying to get to. They aren’t really essential to game play.

[@LorenzoLiverani]

@@WatchItPlayed ah, thanks!

[@yokokurama4002]

Can you move the wooden tiles like if you run out can you move your tiles

[@WatchItPlayed]

Nope, once a wall is placed, it must stay there.

[@MrReddy64]

Hey Rodney was curious if you would ever make a "Top" list of your games? I know you strictly use this channel for learning purposes only but just curious what you like to play :))

[@WatchItPlayed]

No plans to currently, but thanks for the interest!

[@n00bszpro]

Can you like create your own path to the other side? or it is against the rules?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey there, it's been a little while since I shot this, so I don't recall what I said, but if I don't say you can't - then you can.

[@mz8842]

Can you play a fence half on the baseline and half in the storage area?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey Michael, there are no half placements.

[@angelsrosena]

I do love Quarto because it was the first game of this collection I got (a sweet gift from a friend) and I can't wait to play this one, luckily I have found it on amazon Brazil. Hey, how many games do you have in your collection and when did you start it? Thanks 😋

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope you enjoy this one too! How many games do I have? Quite a few :) I started when I was about 12 or so, though I doubt I have many of the games from back then now. I probably got more seriously into the hobby about 2008.

[@sadjoypaul]

i bought the board without the pions recently for 1 buck and built the pieces same day .. love it ..

[@D9Stub]

Can you move a fence that’s already placed?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Nope!

[@TacosLocosToT]

Why do we need the baseline pieces in the board in setup?

[@WatchItPlayed]

You don't need to use it if you don't want to.

[@panossurf]

Ιf infront of me there is a wall and on my right is an opponent can I go diagonally right which is empty?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey there, the conditions under which you can move diagonally are mentioned here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHq2o6ieg5V7mZI

[@welty69]

I wanna know how many times you tried the opening spinning thing to get JUST the right shot..............

[@WatchItPlayed]

Are you suggesting I didn't get it on the first try?!?!? *gasp*

[@welty69]

@@WatchItPlayed it is ALWAYS possible but not likely................🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sebastianranz3365]

what happens if you box the other player in through 4 fences ?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey there, I'm always happy to try to help with rules questions, but if the answer is provided in the video, than I have to direct you there. You'll find an index in the description to help you find the section you might be looking for.

[@lilyofthevalley4740]

Brilliant! Which game do you prefer - this one or Quarto?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey Clazza, I avoid reviewing on this channel, as I know everyone's tastes are different. Hopefully you can get a sense from the videos of which one might appeal mos, to you!

[@lilyofthevalley4740]

Thanks so much Rodney. I guess it's hard to tell until you really play it, but your explanations are indeed VERY helpful.

[@Unodonha]

U can jump over the oponent's pawn to the side (diagonaly) without any wall in the way.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey there, are you saying that, or are you asking? If you're asking a question - then no, you cannot jump over to the side, if a wall isn't there.

[@WesR7009]

Alternate version… 2 vs 2… first team to get both pieces to other side.

[@syedafaryal986]

Hi..hope you are doing great. Did you buy this game or ever played??

[@mrtuxedosteve1325]

Can you do a video of how to play Gloomhaven

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the interest. I Talk a bit about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XXdaisfrqUbKM&t=342

[@doylay]

Looks very interesting. Feels like it would be much better with only two players. I'm guessing there is no way to play with 3 players.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Not that I'm aware of. I generally play with two.

[@JackieFox1976]

About how long does a full game take?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I always hesitate to comment on this, because it's really going to come down to the players (some people play fast, some people play slow) - that said, the box says 15 mins, and that feels right to me as a fair average.

[@JackieFox1976]

@@WatchItPlayed Normally I wouldn't ask but it looks like a pretty quick game so wanted to confirm. Obviously, some players will be prone to analysis paralysis.

[@Game___applied]

Can you play 3 players

[@WatchItPlayed]

It's listed as a 2 or 4 player game, so I'm not aware of any official way to play with 3 players.

[@Game___applied]

@@WatchItPlayed thanks and this video is made 4 years ago and you still respond such a legend 👏 25 minutes ago

They aren’t completely necessary, so maybe they removed them in future printings.

If i get stuck in a situation of a 4 player game when 1 am surrounded by walls on 3 sides and 2 adjacent players on the 4 side

[@WatchItPlayed]

In that case, I'd say you skip your turn, but that is a unique situation, to be sure!

[@Myst-Blazeio]

@@WatchItPlayed yes thnks for giveing me a way to move on in the game.

What if you run out of walls?
