Barricado is an abstract strategy game of tile placement and area control. Each turn, players get to choose between controlling the layout of the board (by placing a tile) or claiming territory (by placing lines of tokens). The player's goal is to connect dots of their own color with a line of tokens to block other players from doing the same and to end up with the most pieces on the board at the end of the game. The layout of the board and the barricades built upon it is always different on each play-through, as each player's strategy (and the number of players) affects the others. Optional rules can adjust play time for different audiences, as well as provide for expanded strategy for advanced players.
