## Description
Quoridor Junior brings the classic mouse‑through‑a‑maze race to kids, but on a smaller board (7×7 instead of the adult 9×9). Each player controls a mouse that must reach the opposite side of the board. On your turn you may either move the mouse one space or place a blocker—a wall that stops an opponent’s path. The trick is timing the blockers: they can delay your rival, but if you’re not careful they might also block your own route. Games are quick (about 10 minutes) and the low weight (1.4/5) makes it easy for children 6+ while still being enjoyable for adults who like a tidy dose of simple strategy. Bright components and large pieces keep younger players engaged, and the Grid Movement mechanic plus a few steps‑ahead thinking give enough depth for seasoned gamers. In short, Quoridor Junior is an excellent first taste of blocking and spatial planning games, perfect for short family sessions or classroom play.
