How do you play Quoridor?

Quoridor is played on a 9x9 grid. Each player has a pawn and 10 walls. On your turn, either move your pawn one square (you can jump over an adjacent opponent) OR place a wall between two squares. First pawn to reach the opponent's home row wins. Walls cannot fully enclose a player.
