Blokus

Blokus
Compete to see who can strategically place the most Tetris-like shapes of their color on the board. Each piece must touch another of the same color, but only diagonally on the corners. When players begin to run out of room, it becomes a mad dash to claim territory, block other players, and find creative ways to place all 21 of your pieces.

Ages:5+

Playing Time:20 minutes

Players:2-4

Additional Info:

  • The publisher has released multiple versions of the game.
  • If a piece gets lost, the game still works by removing the same shape from the other three colors.
