Move one
Move one space in any direction to an available square.
How to Play TrapMove
Outlast every other Player.
TrapMove is a 2–4 player strategy game. Use movement chips to cross the board. The chip you use stays on the square you leave, permanently changing the available paths. The last Player with a legal move wins.
Set up
- Open the 10 × 10 board and place all 100 movement chips in the drawstring bag.
- Each Player chooses a game piece and draws three movement chips.
- Everyone rolls the die. Reroll ties for the highest roll until one Player is first.
- Beginning with the first Player and continuing clockwise, place each game piece on any unoccupied square.
On your turn
- Choose one of your three movement chips.
- Place it on the square your game piece is leaving.
- Move exactly as that chip allows and land on an empty square.
- Draw a replacement chip so you again hold three.
Placed chips stay for the rest of the game. A Player may not land on a placed chip or another Player. Only Move three may jump.
Know every path.
Move two
Move any number of squares horizontally or vertically. Do not jump over a Player or placed chip.
Move three
Move two squares in one direction and one square perpendicular. This is the only move that may jump; land on an empty square.
Move four
Move any number of squares diagonally. Do not jump over a Player or placed chip.
Move five
Move any number of squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Do not jump over a Player or placed chip.
Getting trapped and winning
If none of the three chips in your hand provides a legal destination, you are trapped and out of the game. Your game piece remains an occupied square. The last Player who can make a legal move wins.
