Designed by a Grade 6 student, Mohammad Al Mohannadi,  Quoridor is an engaging two-player strategy game that combines fun, logic, and environmental awareness. Players compete to move their pawn across a 9×9 grid while placing wooden fences to slow down their opponent — but without blocking their path completely. The game challenges players to think critically, plan ahead, and respect fairness, reflecting the balance between competition and cooperation that underpins sustainable living.

This game promotes sustainability by encouraging the use of eco-friendly, reusable materials instead of plastic, and by inspiring students to design their own games rather than buying commercial ones. It also connects to Qatari heritage through its emphasis on strategic thinking, patience, and respect for shared space — values that echo the wisdom of traditional Qatari games and community life.

Through Quoridor, students learn that sustainability begins with thoughtful choices — whether in how we play, create, or share. It’s a modern twist on traditional strategy, blending cultural appreciation with environmental responsibility.
