Barricade is inspired from the famous board game of type "pawn race" which is a turn based game. It is a simple game that can be played by the whole family, from parents to children.
If it is simple, it is however captivating because it requires a good startegy : you need to make a smart balance between :
* Blocking the ennemies
* Attacking the ennemies
* Protecting your pawns
* Moves quickness
* Grouping your pawns for a higher power
Barricade can be played alone against the computer or with 2, 3, 4 players..., depending on the game board. With more than 2 players, it is even more distracting because of the temporary alliances than can be established and stopped during the game : no matter the method, you need to prevent the others from arriving to the final square before you !
Barricade is a freeware but some additional features are available if you pay the license fee.
