Lost piece
on February 7, 2020
Posted by: ClintJD
from Tokyo, Japan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this game for my son’s 7th birthday and we all love this game. We’ve been recommending this game to our friends and have given it so some as presents. Unfortunately we lost a blue piece and my kids are sad about it. We live in Japan and we don’t know where and how to get a replacement. Is there any way we could get the piece we need? Please advice.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Miscolored pieces? Mattel?
on January 19, 2019
Posted by: RyanFrustrated
from West Jordan, Ut
I bought this for Christmas because I liked playing the game at a relative's house. When I opened the box and began cutting the pieces out, I found that the coloring for the green pieces came in a range of clear to opaque. All other pieces were clear. This was definitely missed the the Quality Control process. It's irritating. I don't like playing it. All I think about is how the QA/QC at Mattel failed me. I am taking it back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this game so much and have successfully turned my whole family onto the game as well. I just recently purchased a new game and unfortunately there are only 14 red pieces. I’m so upset because I love this game so much and want to continue playing. Who can I reach out to for new game pieces??

Terrific game!

We have been playing Blokus for years, and it’s easily our favorite family game. My child was 7 or 8 when we got it, and they picked it up right away (and were winning right away!) The strategy gets more complex as the kids grow, and it’s fun for adults too. Recommend Blokus!!

Best with four players
on August 3, 2016
Posted by: Wahoo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have heard of Blockus before, so was excited to be able to test it. However, we are a family of three and my child is six. I was initially disappointed to see that the ideal situation for this game is ages 7 and up and with four players. You can play with two or three players with modified rules. (3 players is the most confusing since everyone gets to take turns with the fourth color.) Initially my spouse and I played a two player game and enjoyed it. Next I played it with my child only as a two color game to have my child get the idea of the rules. Then we all played together with only three colors to be less confusing (not adding the fourth color). It was fun and I think once my child gets older and can strategize better, this will be a great addition to our board game repertoire. (My child also simply enjoyed trying to place all of the pieces on the board with none left over.) Overall, a good game. I do like that it does afford some customization even beyond the initial rules and can still be played with satisfaction. The pieces seem durable enough for the type of play and getting started out of the box is super easy.
Pros: Durable, challenging
Cons: ideal for four players

Fun Family Game
on August 14, 2016
Posted by: SuperDuperDad
from Woodland, CA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Game is a family game which said 7+ but even my 5 year old loved playing it along with my older two kids. Very easy game to learn and fun to play multiple times. We have a ton of board games and this will definitely make it to the lot of games we play with. Not the greatest of quality in workmanship however. The pieces should fit on the board easily and my eight year would sometimes have a little difficulty places the tiles down on the spot he wanted to. Would have liked it if the tiles had deeper grooves and could be moved easier. Also would have liked it if the board had 4 separated compartments for quicker setup of game play.
Pros: game is very fun to play and easy to learn., game pieces are solid, terrific replay value!
Cons: pieces could be made deeper., no separate sections for different colored tile.

EASY TO LEARN AND FUN TO PLAY

from Columbus, Ohio
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] "It was fun and easy to learn how to play". Jeydan age 6
"It was fun until my husband got so competitive, it was pretty easy to play" Lynn (mommy)
I actually enjoyed playing this. As a Dad most board games played with children are boring or incredibly frustrating.
Strategy and skill are a part of it, (keeps a Dad entertained) but a 7 year old can surprise you and win with dumb luck. The simplicity of "ONE RULE, ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES!" Is truly great.
I think some bags to store the pieces in would have given this 99.9 a 100, but a couple zipper bags solved that minor issue. On first open we played two games in a row and enjoyed both. Overall a great game that as it says on the box is "Easy To Learn" & "Great For Families".

Great family game to play with the kids
on July 28, 2016
Posted by: Wolferz
from Florida
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This block-laying game was a blast to play with our kids. The instructions were very clear and concise. They were simple for the little ones to understand and follow. Gameplay goes pretty fast and holds children's and adult's attention. With a maximum of 21 moves from each player, there are several opportunities for everyone to win in one night. The game board and pieces are constructed of plastic and appear durable, giving this game the chance to be enjoyed for years to come.
Pros: Durable, High quality, easy to play
Cons: only up to 4 players
I would recommend this to a friend!
