Blocade

Byk3y Studios

Race your pawn across the board and drop walls to cut off your rival, but never seal them in. Blocade is a free two-player strategy board game: ranked matches against real people on PC and mobile, a daily 128-player tournament, puzzles and a ladder of bots.

Overview

Easy to learn. Hard to outthink.

Each turn you do one thing: move your pawn one step, or place a wall. First to reach the far side wins. Walls slow your rival down, but a path must always stay open, so the whole game is deciding when a wall is worth more than a step.

Ranked against real people

  • 1v1 ranked matches with a rating, leagues and a leaderboard

  • One player pool with the Blocade mobile apps, so there is always a game

  • Time controls from quick to relaxed, and a rematch when you want revenge

Royale, every day

A 128-player knockout starts at 12:00 UTC every day. Entry is free. Win your board, move up the bracket, and the last player standing takes the crown.

Knockouts with your friends

Start a private 4 to 16 player knockout and share the code. Friends join for free.

A ladder of bots

Computer opponents with their own styles, from a gentle first game to the Nightshift crew at the top. Keep a daily streak to unlock the hardest tiers.
