Barrier - Strategy Board Game

A fresh abstract strategy game for players who love chess, checkers, and the thrill of outthinking a worthy opponent.

Barrier is a two-player strategy game that's easy to learn in one match and hard to put down after. Your opponent has built two barriers between you and their side of the board. Tear them down, piece by piece, tower by tower, and get two of your pieces across before they do the same to you.
Three piece types. A handful of rules. An entire world of tactics between them.

WHAT MAKES BARRIER DIFFERENT
Unlike chess, there's no single piece you're protecting. Unlike checkers, every capture changes the shape of the board. Barrier rewards players who can read a position, plan several moves ahead, and know when to defend your own barrier versus when to breach your opponents.

No ads
No paywalls
No push notifications begging you to come back
Just a clean board, a worthy opponent, and your next move.

MULTIPLE PATHS TO VICTORY
Push two pieces across to the far side. Capture enough of your opponent's army that they can't breach your walls. Or outscore them when the board thins out. Every game finds its own ending. Whether you have two minutes or twenty, Barrier gives you something to think about.
