1.3. Reviews & Comments
We played numerous games of Blockade during the judging of the GroupProjects contest, but the runners were always able to break through the blockers' defenses. It is a fun brain burner, though, and we recommend bidding for the right to play the runners, with the lowest bidder winning if a runner escapes within the set bid number of moves. Or perhaps play two games, with each player taking the runners once, where the player who gets a runner to the end in the fewest number of moves wins. -- ClarkRodeffer
