Game rules:
Every barricade player have 1 to 8 pawns. The point is to place all your pawns
on one of exits marked on the board. Whoever do it first wins. Players takes
their turns in order. In each turn player moves one of his or her pawns number
of game fields equal to numer on six-sided dice. When counting fields you cant
move pawn over a stone field. When move ends on such field the stone must be
placed on any empty game field. When move ends on field with other pawn on it
the pawn is removed from board. When player have no legal move he or she
