Play moves relatively fast, especially in the beginning, because you only play one piece per turn. So you need to try and find ways to fit your pieces in close to yours and between your opponents. However, you must play it so it is touching at least on diagonal of another of your pieces. Also, you cannot play one of your pieces in a way that any edges touch the edge of another of your pieces. The catch - there isn't enough room on the board for everyone. Your opponents are attempting the same thing. You have a variety of different sized blocks (very Tetris-like) that you are trying to play on the board. What is Blokus? Basically, it's a block laying game. This inspired me to do a little review for Blokus and hopefully expose new gamers to the game or help some of you veterans to fall in love again as well. It was a good reminder that if you're not playing a solo board game, the theme might not matter as much if you have someone great to play it with. ![]() ![]() I took my daughter to a local cafe and they had a copy for us to play. On Valentine's Day I had the chance to fall back in a love with a very theme-less game: Blokus. I like games with stories, characters, choices, things that really make you feel invested and engaged in the game.
