The Cul De Sac board is a plastic rectangle that is divided into a field of eleven squares wide by fourteen squares long by grooves. These grooves are made to receive "walls" that block two squares at a time. Walls come in two colors, light green and dark green. Left-to-right walls must be light green and front-to-back walls must be dark green.

Each player has two pawns which start out on two home spaces on his side of the board. The goal is to cross the board with your pawns until you can place a pawn on one of your opponent's home spaces.

Each turn you must move one of your pawns and place a wall (until you run out of walls). A pawn can move two spaces, unless it is blocked by an opponent's pawn two spaces away, in which case it can move one space. If a pawn is blocked by an opponent's pawn in the next space, the pawn can jump the opponent's pawn to land in the next space.

There must always be an open path to the home spaces; they can not be closed off by walls or blocked by a pawn which remains on the home space. There is always a clear winner.

[NOTE: There is a bit of confusion about this game, due to its name. Sid Sackson invented a game called Blockade, but it is not this game. This game also went under the name Blockade.
