Cross the board first. Make sure they don't. Palisade is a head-to-head strategy game with no luck and nowhere to hide. Every turn you choose: move your pawn one space, or spend one of your ten walls to block your opponent's path. The catch is that you can never seal them off completely. There's always a way through — your job is to make it long. • Play against three AI difficulties, from casual to master • Two-player mode on a single device • Chess-style clocks at 1, 5, or 10 minutes • Undo any move • Choose your colors • No ads, no purchases, no accounts, works offline
