TrapMove is a 2–4 player strategy board game where every move changes the board. Players begin by placing their pawns on the board and drawing three movement chips. On your turn, choose one of your available movement chips, make that move, and leave the used chip on the square you moved from. That square is now blocked for the rest of the game. As more chips are played, the board becomes increasingly restricted. Every move changes not only where you can go next, but also the options available to every other player. The challenge is to keep your own paths open while limiting your opponents' choices. Players who can no longer make a legal move are eliminated. The last player with an available move wins. TrapMove combines simple movement rules with a constantly changing board, making each game a contest of positioning, planning, and adapting to the moves that came before. TrapMove can also be played online in Beta for free at https://trapmove.com --description from the publisher.
