Quoridor Board Game Fully 3D Printable

Looking for a fun board game to kill some time? Look no further, Quoridor is a two- or four-player intuitive strategy game. Quoridor received the Mensa Mind Game award in 1997 and the Game Of The Year in the United States, France, Canada and Belgium.

I've designed these models with inspiration from the original wooden board game designed by Mirko Marchesi. I added a few improvements such as the pawn holder holes and the ability to print this model on most 220mm x 220mm 3D printers in PLA or PETG. I also wanted the pawn a little taller than normal due to the holes, which allow for easy movement. Files are below to print the board, pawns, and wall pieces (20 total, printed as a set, or the model for a single wall is below to check tolerances first) Walls can be scaled slightly if they don't fit the board. Pawn model is for a single pawn, as these should each be printed each in a different color. Model pictured printed with a .4 mm nozzle at .2mm layer height for the board and walls, and .16 layer height for the pawns.

The Rules For Quoridor Are Below:

PURPOSE OF THE GAME To be the first to reach the line opposite to one's base line (Fig.7).

RULES FOR 2 PLAYERS When the game starts the fences are placed in their storage area (10 for each player). Each player places his pawn in the centre of his base line (fig.1). A draw will determine who starts first.

How To Play The Game Quoridor: Each player in turn, chooses to move his pawn or to put up one of his fences. When he has run out of fences, the player must move his pawn. Pawn moves The pawns are moved one square at a time, horizontally or vertically, forwards or backwards (fig.2). The pawns must get around the fences (fig.3). Positioning of the fences The fences must be placed between 2 sets of 2 squares (fig.4). The fences can be used to facilitate the player’s progress or to impede that of the opponent, however, an acess to the goal line must always be left open (fig.5). Face to face When two pawns face each other on neighbouring squares which are not separated by a fence, the player whose turn it is can jump the opponent’s pawn (and place himself behind him), thus advancing an extra square (fig.6). If there is a fence behind the said pawn, the player can place his pawn to the left or the right of the other pawn (fig.8 and 9)

END OF GAME The first player who reaches one of the 9 squares opposite his base line is the winner (fig. 7).

TIME OF GAME From 10 to 20 minutes. In a tournament, it possible to allocate a set time to each player.

RULES FOR 4 PLAYERS When the game starts, the 4 pawns are placed in the centre of each of the sides of the board and each player is given 5 fences. The rules are identical to those for two players, but it is forbidden to jump more than one pawn (fig.10).
