Summary: Limited players!
Comment: Inspired by the other reviews of this game, I got it for my 6 and 8 year old. I was sorely disappointed, though. The major problem I have with it is that it really has to be played in multiples of 2--ie, 2 or 4 people. 3 people doesn't work very well at all, because then there's not really an opposite opponent for the 3rd player. I found this very limiting, since it's usually my 2 daughters and I who play games together.
That said, it was easy enough that my 6 year old could play with my 8 year old while I did other stuff, but I was looking for a family game.

Summary: Our favorite new game!
Comment: Quoridor is our family's new favorite game. The goal is to move your pawn or place a fence to block your opponent's play. The concept seems simple, but the the strategy gets more complex the more you play because you learn strategies from each other. Each time you play is different. Make your opponent move all the way back to their side and they won't fall for that again. Make a path along the wall to get to the other side and your opponent may catch what you are doing and make you back track all the way around. I bought three of this game. One for my wife and I, one for my parents, and one for my classroom. I'm looking forward to playing a four player game other the holidays.

Summary: Quoridor, the awesome game
Comment: I first discovered Quoridor on Big Brother 4 when I was channel-surfing. The house guests were playing this game I had never heard of which consisted of moving pawns from one end of a board to the other end, while their opponent was putting up fences to impede their progress. I became fascinated with the game and began searching all the local toy stores before finally finding it on Amazon.com.
I was very pleased with the quality and workmanship of the game. It took less than a minute to learn the rules, which are very simple. Simple rules, yet challenging game play.
This game has brought my family and friends many, many hours of enjoyment and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Summary: Fun, but small size and lacking gameboard design
Comment: The game concept is very good. In fact, I give the game concept 5 out of 5 stars. Unfortunately, the execution of the game board is a bit lacking.
First, the board is small. The squares are much smaller than a traditional chess game board. This, combined with the fact that the pieces are a bit wobbly, makes the game somewhat frustrating because the pieces often fall over.
Second, the game is designed for two or four players, but the board is really only designed for two players. The board should be symmetrical for all four players, but there is only a "bank" to hold the fences for two of the players. Even more frustrating, the board is sized symmetrically for all four players, but for two of the players, the space is just left empty.
If they ever come out with a larger, truly four player edition, I will get it and rate it a five.
