The game

Blockers is a laying game with simple rules that requires overview and flexibility. Each player tries to put his toys on the board so that he forms as few groups as possible. That would actually be quite simple if you would always pull the appropriate stones and the dear fellow players would not have their own plans...

This online rule primarily addresses the operation of the game. For special cases and examples, Original Rule to be added. There is also a video guide of the publishing house.

Game sequence

Each player has 28 platelets in its color, of which he randomly gets on the hand at the beginning of five (2).

Players reihumly put one of their five handplates on the schedule and then redraw a new one.

All platelets bear either a number, a letter or a symbol. Each platelet can accordingly only be placed on the schedule provided for this purpose.

A plate with the letter F may therefore only be placed in the row F, a plate with the number 3 only in column 3, a plate with a half moon only on the nine fields in the lower left corner.

If you click on a plate in its deposit, you will lighten possible laying positions on the board. For laying down, you only have to push the plate onto a suitable field. If you move a plate over a storage space, you will also see if the platelet can be placed here (green) or not (red).

Blockers stones are Joker and can be placed on any field.

A plate can be placed on a free field as well as on a occupied field. On occupied fields may only be placed if the plate lying there is individually or as a group of two. For larger groups, care must be taken to ensure that the group is not split by laying the new plate because this is Not permitted. The superstructured player must take the replaced plate. At the end, this counts minus points (see game end).

Can a player not place any of his platelets on a free field, must: he put on a occupied field.

Playing

Once each player has pulled his last platelet, another round is played, then the game ends. The following is now evaluated:

A minus point for each group of a color. As a group, all the stones of a color that adjoin each other perpendicularly or horizontally are included. Individual stones also form a group!
A minus point for each imprisoned adversary platelet of the color from which one has caught most.

The player with the at least minus points wins.

At the same time, the player who has caught fewer opponent's platelets wins.

Options

profi

The game ends when each player has only four platelets in each color. The score runs analogously to the original rule, one counts here the groups of both colors. In the case of the prisoner platelets there are also the most widely accepted color, even if it is one of its own!.
