A game of blocked roads
The way up is only one way.
Five pawns. Eleven barricades. A branching board that narrows to a single gate below the castle. Every road you close is a road someone has to pay to reopen — and the long climb gives them plenty of time to make you pay it back.

How it plays
One die, real choices
Every turn you move one pawn exactly what you rolled, in any direction. Barricades cannot be jumped. The decision is never what to roll — it is which pawn spends it.
Close a road, pay for it later
Land on a barricade and you pick it up, then place it anywhere free. Block the gate in front of the leader and they must spend a turn opening it — then they choose where it goes next.
A coach, not a lecture
An opponent that plays well, and — separately — a coach that tells you why a move was strong or weak, only when it actually mattered. For playing with family who are still learning.
