Great strategic game

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an amazing game of strategy! You play by laying down block-shaped pieces on a game board while other players try to block you. The goal is to get the most down before the board ills up. We enjoyed the strategic component quite a bit. It took a few tries to get the hang of it and then we were set. My 10 year-old never really grasped the concept and gave up even though he is pretty good with puzzles and things like that. I'm not sure this will be a part of every game night, but it will be nice to have on hand for when we need something a little different.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son who is 10 likes the game and has played it before. My 4 year old was too young to understand the rules wanting to just make her own designs with the pieces. I don’t know if this would be my first choice for a family game night but we do enjoy playing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The instructions are a little wonky, but it's a fun game overall. It's so fun trying to block the other players and be the winner. It allows up to 4 players, but does include instructions for less. It's a cool game that's fun to play.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a family game night, which we always love! My husband and I loved the game and it's variants. My 10 and 12 year old were bored with it quickly. The strategic thinking is pretty advanced. Overall, I'd recommend for teens to adults. Also it lacks tie-breaker rules.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kids were a little hesotant whrn Blokus came out to play. However. As soon as they learned the one rule, it was game on. The kids love the fun and challenge. I love the problem solving skills they are building. Hours upon hours of entertainment!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not sure who loves this game more, the kids or the adults! Easy to learn and play. Directions were very clear and easy to understand. We love playing Blokus on family game nights. The pieces are very pretty colors and easy to hold.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son and his cousin and I had fun playing this game. It’s well packaged with quick set up and quick clean up. The directions were easy to understand for my 9 year old and his 10 year old cousin and they were able to get the gist of it very quickly. There are modifications to the directions if playing with a smaller group, which was nice! Our first game play was relatively quick, however the 2nd time around the boys took more time thinking about their block placement. What I like most is that the game made the boys stop and think before placing their next tile and that it appeals to all ages. They really loved playing the game and I can see this becoming a popular choice for family game night!
