Squadro (Eng)

Squadro is an abstract, tactical game for two players. The goal is to be the one who first gets four of their five pieces across the board and back again.

The pieces move across each other, and they advance a number of spaces as indicated by their starting point. When they hit the opposite edge, they move back with the new starting space's point value. If you move into a crosswise piece, you send it home, and you yourself move forward into the adjacent space. The strategy in the game is to take advantage of the opportunities that arise when you send your opponent's pieces home, or by luring your opponent into sending your own piece home, so you end up in a more favorable position.
