How to play Let Me Go!

1
Each player starts on one edge of the board and races to the opposite edge.
2
On your turn, either move your pawn one square up, down, left or right, or place one of your walls.
3
A wall covers two squares of groove. Walls can't cross or overlap, and no wall may seal any pawn in: there must always be a route to every goal.
4
Face another pawn with nothing behind it and you can jump straight over it. If a wall, the edge or another pawn is behind it, the jump goes diagonally instead.
5
With two players, each has ten walls. With four, each has five, and play goes round all four edges.
6
Four players can also play as two teams of two on a bigger 11 by 11 board, with seven walls each.

The bots

Six levels: Rookie, Runner, Architect, Strategist, Mastermind and Grandmaster. The higher ones look further ahead, keep walls in reserve and place them on the leader's own route.

Pawns

Eight pawn shapes, drawn in the game. The colour always shows whose pawn is whose. New shapes are bought with coins earned by playing.

Tips

Don't spend all your walls early. The last few walls decide most games.
A wall is worth placing when it adds more steps to your opponent's route than it costs you in time.
Watch the shortest path, not the straight line. Walls change which route is shortest.
