Blokus review
Blokus is a fun, fast-paced abstract strategy game that's easy to learn but offers plenty of room for strategic play. The game is played with Tetris-shaped, colored pieces that players try to place on the board, but with a twist: pieces can only be placed touching at least one corner of your other pieces, not along an edge. It's this unique rule that gives Blokus its strategic depth.
I've played this game with my kids (ages 5 and 8) and it's been a huge hit. They pick up on the rules quickly and love the challenge of trying to fit their pieces on the board. We've even played it non-competitively, just focusing on filling up the board as much as possible.
Blokus is a great game for people of all ages, and it's perfect for a quick game night or a casual afternoon of fun. The pieces are made of good quality plastic, and the board is sturdy, though some reviewers have noted that it could be a bit bigger, especially for more than two players.
One of the things I like most about Blokus is that it's always different. The pieces are randomized, and the players' strategies change depending on the board state and their opponents' moves. It's a game that you can play over and over again without getting bored.
If you're looking for a fun, strategic game that's easy to learn and play, Blokus is a great choice. I highly recommend it!
