Barricade is played by two people. Each player has 5 playing pieces - 3 Scouts and 2 Guards. The objective is to reach your opponent's base stations on the board with your 3 Scouts, before he can reach yours. Proper use of your Guards and Scouts to block your opponent's Scouts may allow you to reach your objective first. Not to be confused with Barricade/Malefiz from 1960.
