What to Expect
In Trapped, you place dice as crates on the board, slide your marker, and kick crates horizontally or vertically to block your opponent. The goal is to trap your opponent so they cannot move. With a very short playtime, matches are fast-paced and strategically demanding.
Who Is This Game For?
Trapped is designed for players aged 10 and up who enjoy abstract strategy games with quick rounds. It is exclusively for two players and offers a simple ruleset requiring tactical thinking and planning.
How It Works
Players place dice representing crates on the board and move their markers. They can then kick crates horizontally or vertically to block the opponent's movement. The game ends when a player becomes trapped by a wall of crates and can no longer move.
