## How to play

### Goal

Be the first to walk your pawn all the way across to the far side of the board.

### How to Play

• On your turn either step one square or put down a wall
• Tap a marked square to step onto it
• Switch to Wall, tap the board to aim, rotate if you need to, then place
• The dotted trail is your shortest way home right now
• Keyboard: arrows step, M switches mode, R rotates, Space places, Z undoes

### Rules

• Pawns move one square up, down, left or right — never through a wall and never diagonally
• If the other pawn is next to you, hop straight over it; if a wall is right behind it, go round either side instead
• Each wall is two squares long and sits in the grooves between squares
• Walls may not overlap or cross one another
• A wall may never seal a player off from their side completely — there is always a way through

### Tips

• Walls are worth more later than sooner — once spent they never come back
• A wall that adds two steps to their route and none to yours is worth about two free moves
• Watch the two step counts: if you are ahead on steps, race; if you are behind, build
• A wall placed beside your own route can cost you more than it costs them

### Game Over

The moment a pawn touches any square on the far row, that player wins. There are no draws — someone always gets through.
