Walls: Race Through A Changing Maze

This maze race game has players move pawns and pivot walls to reach the finish before rivals. Shifting walls can open a personal shortcut or block an opponent, while doubles allow unusual movement at the cost of changing the maze.

Read the full game description

The game board is set up with 3D wall pieces that plug into the board, making a giant maze. The goal of the game is to be the first player to reach the Finish space. Dice are rolled to allow a player to first move their pawn, and second to move walls. The walls pivot around a point allowing the player to open new paths to the Finish, or to block opponents' paths to the Finish. There are some special moves that a player may do when the player rolls doubles: 1. Change places with another player's pawn 2. Move through walls the number rolled (Double 4's means 4 spaces through walls) Note: If option 1 or 2 is played, then the player forfeits their option to move walls. 3. Simply play the roll. If you are looking for something more strategic than a dice rolling game, there is a second set of rules that eliminates the dice and makes the game more strategic. There is also an option to add a "Bad Guy" to game play. This gives the game an exciting element that makes the players play against each other and against the board. The complete set of rules can be seen on the Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/111778715/walls-race-through-a-changing-maze
