Description
Pathfinder is a classic game of maze battles, where two players engage in a battle of wits. The game is simple to learn, with rules that can be explained quickly, making it accessible to players of all ages. Each player sets up their own hidden maze, using small rectangular plastic walls, and places a sitting man figure somewhere within it. The goal is to navigate your opponent's maze, calling out steps and tracking your progress on a duplicate board. As you take turns calling out steps, you'll try to avoid bumping into walls, all while trying to figure out the layout of your opponent's maze. With its unique blend of point to point movement and secret unit deployment, Pathfinder is a game of abstract strategy and deduction that's both challenging and fun. First published in 1974, this game has stood the test of time, and its compact plastic case makes it easy to take on the go.
