I received the game Quoridor for christmas. It’s pretty darn cool. Not only does it enjoy an elegant and spartan design, it is fun to play. For two or four players, my sisters and my dad and I played for several hours yesterday.

A single game can be played in ten to twenty minutes. Check it out at the web site.

It does look good, but after a brief visit I wondered: How do you go about getting this game?

My sister ended up getting it online, I don’t recall from where. I notice the Gigamic site I cited has an online shopping option. Obviously, that may not be an option for everybody. I originally saw the game in a board game “specialty” shop in a mall. I’ve seen other games by the same manufacturer in different places. So at the risk of sounding patronizing, if online shopping is not an option I’d recommend letting your fingers do the walking. Perhaps you could email and ask for distributors, or take the “World” link and email the (online?) distributor for the U.S. And there is an 800 number at this site: [www.gamereport.com/tgr16/quoridor.html](http://www.gamereport.com/tgr16/quoridor.html)

After reading the review on that site, I wonder if the game _is_ solvable…
