Devor Poygasi — the rules

Goal

Each player has one pawn. In Classic it heads for the edge opposite its own side; in Race everyone starts on the bottom row and runs to the top. First to arrive wins; the game ends once 3 places are decided.

Moves and walls

  • One action per turn: move the pawn to an adjacent cell (orthogonally, not diagonally) or place a wall.
  • If a rival is on the adjacent cell you jump over them; if a wall is behind them, you step to the side.
  • A wall is 2 cells long, sits between cells and can't be crossed.
  • You may never block a player completely; everyone must keep at least one path.
  • Walls are limited (see below); once they're gone you can only move.
  • Each player has a 300-second clock; running out knocks you out.

Modes

  • Versus computer — 4 levels: easy, normal, hard, master.
  • Same device — 2–6 people take turns on one phone.
  • Online — with friends via a 5-character room code; there's also quick-join for open rooms.

Strategy

  1. Don't spend walls early: move first, block when a rival gets close.
  2. The most valuable wall forces a detour; one wall can add 4–6 steps.
  3. Count your own path too; your wall shouldn't block you.
  4. With several players, block the leader and don't waste turns on the stragglers.
