Blockade (also known as Cul-de-sac) is a 'beat the barrier' game where you get one of your pawns to a starting space of your opponent. Players place 2-wide walls to block each other.
Inventor: Philip Slater

After moving, wall placement is optional.
Either move a pawn or place a wall, not both.
Win by reaching the opponent's back rank. Every pawn must still be able to reach at least one goal.
Pawns move one orthogonal step. They may jump an opponent unless that piece sits on the goal (then they land on the goal and capture). If a second enemy sits immediately behind the jumped piece, that piece is captured too.
