Description:
Fun for both kids and adults, Blokus is a strategy board game that challenges spatial thinking. Bright colors and simple rules make it ideal for ages five and up, but adults will certainly be engrossed by this unique and challenging game. Not Your Average Board Game! Blokus encourages creative thinking and has received a Mensa award for promoting healthy brain activity. The goal of this game is for players to fit all of their pieces onto the board. When placing a piece it may not lie adjacent to the player's other pieces, but must be placed touching at least one corner of their pieces already on the board. The player who gets rid of all of their tiles first is the winner and strategic thinking helps as you block moves from your opponent. Blokus sometimes comes to an end because there are no more possible moves. Four players make this abstract game especially fast and exciting; however, it can be just as fun for two or three players. Blokus has come up with a number of different ways to play the game to make it more thrilling when playing with less than four players. Draft Blokus, Reverse Blokus, even solitaire! A game of Blokus typically lasts a 30 minutes. This game includes 84 pieces in four vibrant colors, an instruction guide, and one gameboard with 400 squares. Blokus is simple to understand, but the game's complexity is revealed shortly after everyone begins to play. It can be addictive, even for those not normally into abstract games. Blokus is a catalyst for spatial thinking, as players form images in their mind before placing the pieces on the board. As Europe's 2003 Game of the Year, Blokus is adored by many and even played in professional tournaments.

Good Spacial Skill builderJul 21, 2008 Played this with my family and we enjoyed it. Very easy to learn\teach, but tricky to build strategy with. Made the young ones think. Very engaging game.
While far from fragile, I thought the pieces could be snapped in the wrong hands. However, I don't know if this is something that can be remedied at manufacture. My advice? Keep it away from the toddlers.
Very fun gameJul 21, 2008 My husband and I truly enjoy this game. It is not as addicting as Tetris but similar in nature, competing with quick sharp spatial skills. The only thing I think that would make this game better is adding a hourglass to it as you get some people who take WAY too long on their turn. Otherwise I highly recommend
Fun, challenging, for all agesJul 20, 2008 My husband and 2 kids, aged 11 and 4 are 'addicted' to Blokus. Our 4 year-old helps out by playing the fourth color and we score as if it was the 3-player variation. He enjoys himself and makes shapes with his pieces while the others think how to block and prepare 'escape routes'. Loads of fun and brain training.
BlokusJul 19, 2008 This is a great family game. My husband and I play Blokus with our 6 year-old twins. It is a fun strategic game that we can all enjoy playing together. My parents got hooked on it after playing it with our children. I ordered Blokus for them and other relatives. I would highly recommend the game to adults or families with children, because it is a good thinking-game.
Great learning funJul 15, 2008 This is so much fun players don't even realize that they are developing spatial perception! Experience doesn't always win. I was beaten by my eight-year-old daughter. We play the game according to the rules, but after we are done. My daughter loves to use the pieces to make colorful patterns on the game board.
This is one of the games used in by my daughter's vision therapy office. They use small box lids to separate the different colored pieces. The trays provided in the game make it very difficult to see each shape individually. I definitely recommend using different trays. That makes it easier to identify the pieces and therefore to have more fun. Enjoy
