Blokus Classic

We've had this game for a few years now. It's still a family favorite. If you like Othello or Tetris, you are sure to love this game. We usually play with three people and take turns on who lays down a tile for the forth color. It works great and adds to everyone's strategy. My husband is not a big fan of board games, but enjoys this one. It doesn't require any reading, so a child who is a pre-reader can join in. I also like the fact that the rules aren't complicated. You can learn as you go.

Fun game for children or adults. We pulled it out during a rainy evening at the lake and the four of us had an enjoyable fun filled evening

I am a Great Grandma and I played out on games a long time ago. I had 6 children. So for years I wouldn't play cards or games,I had my fill. Then my brother (65 years old) brought the larger game to my house. With that game four people can play. Well, my brother's game is still at my house. It is a great game it doesn't take all night to play. It has pieces that go on this board but the pieces can only touch at the corners. You keep on putting pieces on the board until you have no more room or you run out of pieces. It is so much fun and I am finding it hard to put it into words. The pieces are in different shapes and different sizes and different colors, so it's pretty to look at and play. Now I have the travel size, it's for two people to play and it is smaller. But is still so much fun. It is not too little for men or women. It is a good size. That is the game we are looking at. Our four year old great grandson plays it. Children and grown-ups alike can play this game and really enjoy it. My niece lives across the street from me and she borrowed it. They got one now. I have two games and I want to get the giant one next.
My aunt wants me to bring it to her house so we can play it instead of Scrabble (that is her favorite game until she plays Blokus). Anybody at any age can play this game and will love it. And now since they have the travel size it is going everywhere. I just mailed one to my brother in Spain. Well, I had to since I kept his.

This game is great because it is easy to learn and the strategy development you gain from playing helps develop the brain cells. I would recommend this game for anyone, but especially children or seniors who need to keep sharp.

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.
