Blokus is a strategy game

This game is fun for adults because it is a strategy game. But it is also fun for kids because of the pretty colored tiles and the challenge of trying to find a place spacially to put a tile. You can only put your tile down where it touches a corner of one of your previous tiles. You can not touch your own tiles edge to edge. My son just turned six years old and he's getting pretty good at the game. He doesn't yet understand how to block another player but that will come with time.

Destined to be a Classic

I'm a mathematics teacher and game lover. This game teaches involves logic and spatial visualization and is a lot of fun, especially with several players. It's appropriate for people of six years and up. Board games unite families and friends, and this is one of the best. Enjoy!

Most Fun Ever

You can play this game right out of the box without having to read several pages of instructions. It is so simple even my 4-year old grandson can play it, but adults love it because there are unlimited strategies for getting all your pieces in play and every game is different. It is just so much fun and I recommend it to everyone. It is a perfect gift too. Best game I've ever played.

Blokus - a game for the whole family!

We all play this game - even my preschooler - and have a blast. It can be played by two players, but all four colors need to be played so each person takes two colors. My kids don't like this much, but it goes okay for older kids and adults. Overall I recommend this game for anyone, especially people who love puzzles.
