Pressure Matrix

50 square tiles show 4 nodes each, featuring different instructions like ppay, win, give or steal Credits, ddlip  tile, adjust pressure status etc. Depending on the number of players, 9 to 25 tiles are placed at the start. Your move comprises movement and pressure phase. For movement you roll 3 dice and use the high, middle or low one according to the pressure level. You move straight and cannot enter blocked tiles or occupied tiles. Control markers are implemented before movement. At the end of movement you choose one of the four nodes on the tile and block it. If nobody can move, the game ends and the player with most credits wins.
