Board Game - Quoridor Mini

Quoridor Mini  —  an abstract strategy game for two or four players  where you can showcase all your  strategic skills  both in  offense and defense. 
This wooden board game with simple rules lasting only 15–20 minutes offers an engaging dose of strategy and planning, as well as training for three-dimensional vision.     
In fact, you will need to create a kind of maze to hinder your opponent and prevent them from reaching your side of the board before you can reach theirs.    
This portable version is perfect for visiting a friend and takes up very little space in a backpack or bag.

On each turn, you can decide whether to move your piece toward the opponent or build a barrier that hinders their movements.

Pieces can move orthogonally one square at a time and cannot cross barriers. The only positioning rule is to leave at least one access free from your side.

The player who first moves their piece to the opposite side of the game board wins.

In  the 4-player variant  each player will be on one side of the board and must reach the opposite side from theirs. In this variant, the number of barriers available to each player will be reduced.

Can you pave a sufficiently complex path for your opponent without slowing your piece down?
