Walls & Warriors Review {Smart Games}

I have an amazing game to share with you today from Timberdoodle, Walls & Warriors.  This single player game is designed to challenge both kids (8+) and adults.  And just like our other Smart Games, we are fans!

What's included?  This game includes a game board, 4 red knights (which are the enemy knights), 3 blue knights (which are your knights), 4 unique walls, a high tower (blue roof top), and a challenge/solutions booklet.

The red and blue knights have a circular base so they easily sit on the game board.  I like that they are detailed.

The walls are durable and easy to maneuver.

 Challenge/Solutions Booklet

 

The challenge and solutions book contains 80 challenges with 5 levels of difficulty - Starter, Junior, Expert, Master, and Wizard.  The difficulty increases with each level and every challenge has only one correct solution.  The answers for each challenge can be found at the back of this booklet.

 

How do you play?  A player begins by choosing a challenge and setting up the game board as indicated in that challenge.  At the Starter level, players are given the position of one or more of the walls to help give them a feel for the game as they proceed to more difficult challenges.  The goal of the game is to position the walls so that the red knights are kept outside and the blue knights and high towers remain within the ramparts - that's it in a nutshell.  I want to note that the walls need to fit  in the indents of the game board.  If it doesn't fit, it's not in a valid position.

Let's dive into the very first challenge!

Above you can see the set up for the 1st challenge.

Given how easy the set up is, you should be able to quickly get to the solution above and solve this challenge.

There are no red or enemy knights in this challenge so you only have to enclose your blue knights!  Let's look at a more complex challenge now, Challenge 33 in the Expert level.

Above you can see the set up for Challenge 33.

The first few walls are placed.

The next wall...

And the placement of the last wall leads you to the solution!

Walls & Warriors is part of Timberdoodle's 12th Grade Curriculum Kit and we are beyond excited to have it as part of our homeschool resources and games!  Be sure to check out our other Smart Games reviews including Asteroid Escape and Zig Zag Puzzler.
