Thanks for checking out our Quoridor game build! If you're interested in making this for yourself, we've got plans on our website: whitelabworkshop.com/how-to-make-a-quoridor-game/. Comment below with what you think of this game and any other game ideas you'd love to see us tackle!
2:45 ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES when working with table saw or any other rotating tool! Otherwise great video!
Excellent advice! My sleeves weren’t loose fitting, but definitely good practice to do it every time anyway. Thanks for watching!
Way to include your daughter. What a memory for her. Great video.
"Daaad!" That means you're doing it right. Nice game.
Haha! Thanks, Andy! Gotta make them work for it! I appreciate the support!
Never heard of this game before....looks fun!
It is great fun!
I made this for my grandkids a while back. They love playing.
That is great to hear! It’s a fun game!
Great game. I might have to make one for my granddaughter and SIL.
Just in time for the holidays! Thanks for checking out the video!
Thank you for the positive energy!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hi Brent - My daughter would like this project! Thanks for posting!
Thanks, Steve! It’s even more fun to play it together if you make it together!
Thanks for showing the build and thanks for discussing errors and changes you would make. The later is much appreciated.
Thank you! I think there’s a lot of value in showing and discussing mistakes. May as well learn from them!
P sure youtube is stalking me. IT KNOWS WHAT IM TRYING TO WATCH BEFORE I SEARCH IT.
Im kinda not even mad. . .
Lol GJ youtubes
Thanks
Brilliant video. I was just looking at this game, trying to figure out how I could build it. So nice that you've already done it and I can learn from your hindsight. Love how you are working with your daughters. Thank you for teaching your daughters woodworking!!!
Thank you very much, Leslie! I love seeing comments like this! And my daughters really enjoy woodworking, when we have projects that they can help with. There are definitely more coming with them!
Great job. I will be making one of these as a Christmas gift.
Great ! This game is new to me :) We LOVE board games, this one is top priority now :) Thank you for share your process!
You are welcome! My kids and I have had a blast playing this game. Thanks for checking out the video!
You did it once again! Our newest favorite video of yours! Your helper is getting more involved and better and better. I cant get glue to work as well as she did!! I have never seen the game before but it definitely looks like one that makes you think, which is awesome. I thought I understood the rules of the game but I did not understand why she did not just go straight to the end you placed a piece that would allow her unimpeded access straight through. I have to play this game!!!! Great job!
Thank you, @Poor Man! We had a great time making this one and continue to have fun playing it. Once you get into it, you’ll realize just how much strategy is involved. I was trying to draw her into a path that would take her several moves to get down. Then I could ruthlessly block her off and cause her to waste several more moves to get out. Lucky for her, she caught on and avoided it. Since filming, she has continued to up her game and has beat me fair and square several times!
That's a really cool looking game! I've never heard of it before, but I love games of strategy like this. I'll definitely put this on my build list.
Thank you! You’ll definitely enjoy playing this one!
Nice build Brent! Thanks for sharing this game build!
Thanks, Jeff! It’s one I really enjoyed doing!
Excelente! Ficou muito bom . Meus parabéns.
Looks like a fun project. It always amazes me when people use a dado stack. They don’t allow them in the UK or at least they are hard to come by so I’ve never used one. Anyway great work and interesting game too never seen it before 🙌🏻😃
It really is a fun one! Dado stacks do a great job of plowing out a dado in a hurry. It’s definitely nice to be able to use them! Thanks for the support, Kirstie!
That's cool! It is my favorite game.
Awesome! It’s a great game!
Nice job! I’d say it is a punishment....for the one sanding! 😂
Haha! You know you love sanding, you just need to let yourself realize it! 🤣
Hi Brent, This one looks time consuming.Turned out great.That looks like a difficult game to play.
This one is a bit tedious, but otherwise not all that difficult to make. And since it’s a strategy game, it can be really fun to play! Simple rules that are easy to learn, but hard to master. Thanks for checking it out, Rita!
Great job on the game!
Thank you, Bob!
Ok so I have put off making this. I finally found a couple of your videos and your super helpful link to the logistics tonight. Even though your equipment is superior to mine I had previously made enough jigs to make this work. I have not framed any yet but I managed to pop out two sets tonight. Neat thing is once you successfully make one of boards grid you can use it to very quickly clone as many as you desire as a template. It didn't take long at all. Eventually I will frame them in and make spots to hold the tiles like yours but even without them it still looks nice and plays well. I sewed some bags to hold the pieces, at some point I will make a custom box to hold them. But seriously a great last minute build for Christmas gifts.
Thank you so much for the comment! I love to hear about people who make their own versions! Everyone has their own situation regarding equipment, so it’s good to come at it however you need to, with the gear you have. You made some excellent gifts with this! Enjoy sharing them with your friends and family!
Excelente !!! Te felicito
Thank you!
Ooh looks like a fun game great job👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! It is a really fun game!
Great project 👍
Thank you!
Awesome build! For the grooves try using a putty knife with your rag. It's saved me many times :)
Thanks! And that is a great tip! We’ll definitely do that next time. Thanks for sharing!
What a great job, it's just fun to watch your video.
You work clean and tidy, well done my friend 🔥🔥🔥
That is great to hear! Thank you very much for taking the time to watch and comment!
That is a cool looking game! Thanks for sharing Brent 👍
Thanks, Grant! It was great fun to make and play!
very nice game ))
Thank you!
I liked your video and I think this would be a fun game. I cannot find my dado stack since I moved, but I think between the cross cut sled and my regular blade with multiple passes I could do this. I might make the player side border boards a bit broader and put enough cuts for the corridor game pieces there parallel to the game board. TY for posting your video.
Thank you! You’re absolutely correct that you could do the same thing without a dado stack by just taking multiple passes.
4,000 views in couple of months is quite impressive. Sanding in between the lines must've been a pain!
Isn’t it crazy?!? Lots of eyes have checked it out. And you know that deep down, everyone really loves sanding. They just don’t want to admit it...
@@WhiteLabWorkshop It is pretty therapeutic LOL
@@WhiteLabWorkshop ha ha. Sanding is exciting as it cleans up everything, until you realise how long it will take.
seems really cool. I need to get some info on this game. the only thing I'm concern is the frame around the solid central panel.
important thing is the assistant like it!!
It’s a great game! Good point on the solid wood central panel. It’s small enough that I would expect any wood movement to be minor. I guess time will tell me if I’m wrong!
@@WhiteLabWorkshop yeah, I made the same job in the past and no movement appears. wood is strange
На глаз сложно выдержать размеры квадратов. Проще сделать приспособление для параллельныж пазов.
Would q tips work for applying finish inside the grooves?
I like your project but I like you table saw insert/slide/crosscut sled. Is there a video or instructions on one of those?
Thank you! I don’t have a video on my crosscut sled, but there are plenty of great videos out there for making one of your own. I recommend checking out William Ng’s 5 cut method for ensuring a perfect 90 degrees.
Did you consider using Qtips to get in the grooves?
Unfortunately, I did not. Great idea!
С папой женщины не хотят общаться. Вот он под видом заботы о дочери затащил ее в свой замок и пленил её женственность. А как иначе - кто то же должен заботиться о папе? Во-первых, никто ничего никому не должен, а во-вторых - дочь точно не должна занимать отца в его свободное время, потому что отец не знает, как его занять самостоятельно без эксплуатации жизненной энергии зависимой от него девочки!!!
She could have won easy at 16:43 by placing a wall at the point of her finger and continuing her player forward to the corner square. Game Over. Quoridor is a fantastic strategy game 2/3 or 4 players. One official rule but there are at least 4 and more other unofficial ways of playing.
It’s so fun to learn different tactics! Thank you for watching!
