family fun game

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is a popular game and i am happy to play it with my kids, it says kids age 7+, but all my kids are very interested to play, it doesn't matter who wins or who loses, it just brings us a lot of fun to play. the cubes are made with colorful materials, and kids really love to fight for their favorite color every time. I am glad my little kids learned how to to fit in some small pieces in the empty space, and the bigger kids are happy to teach the little ones. Kids have been playing blokus for over a day, and it seems they can't get enough of it. This is the game which is fun and inspires kids as well. that is why i strongly recommend it.
Pros: High quality
Cons: Low quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pros: High quality

Blokus has a nice layout, but gets boring fast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really had high expectations for Blokus especially since it looks alot like Tetris, but the comparisons pretty much stop there. Two players take turns placing pieces on the gameboard and as long as 1 of their pieces touch their other piece then they are good. The point of the game is to get all your pieces on the board or have less pieces then your opponent has then you will win.
This was fun at first, but after awhile it got very boring just dropping pieces. I guess its alot more fun playing games like this on a gamesystem then in person.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From the moment we received this game everyone was excited. It is a cooler version of Dominoes. My children really enjoyed playing and some adult friends were excitedcto play as well. They remembered playing dominoes as children. This is a very fun and challenging game. Perfect for a rainy day or just some quiet family fun time.
Pros: High quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The very first time we played it was fun! Such an easy game to play. Even my 5 year old joined in. I like that all the pieces are hard plastic,even the board itself. I'm sure we will get plenty of enjoyment out of this game.
Pros: High quality

Great Game

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Packaging
The box is colorful and attractive. With bright colors, it will definitely attract attention and get folks curious about the game.

Everything stores easily in the box, but the game pieces are in four separate sealed bags. There is no way to open the bags without damaging them. This makes the bags difficult to use to store the pieces. I opted to just place the pieces on the board for storing. The next time we go to play the game though, this with slow us down as we will have to sort the pieces before playing. Not a huge deal as the pieces are brightly colored, but zippered bags for storing the pieces would have been appreciated.
Instructions
The instructions are short, well written, and easy to follow. Example pictures of play clear model how the gameplay is supposed to work. There are separate instructions for two, three, or four players games.

Play Value
Blokus is tagged: Easy to Learn! Great for Families! Both are easily true. Bloukus is a simple-to-learn game, and it plays rather quickly without becoming boring. We were able to play several games back-to-back giving opportunity for more than one player to win.

It is a strategy game. The more one plays, the more that that strategy can be developed. It can get very intense with conpetitive players, but it can be played by younger children. I can say that my six year old enjoyed it without really understanding the full strategy of playing each piece.
Conclusion
I can say that Blokus is a great addition to our family's game shelf and it will get a lot of play.

Cool game. Durability may be a concern long term.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Me and the boys have all tried and enjoyed this unusual game. It uses a different kind of strategy to block your opponents from expanding their pieces to the rest of the board.
The use of colors is great and the pieces fit nicely on the board. However, they are a little small and it may be unwarranted but I get the feeling the board may not last over a very long period of time.

Pros: nice design, innovative game

Better than Tetris

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to wait to review until my daughters birthday, which is in September, but they didn't mind a present. Well as soon as they started to play it, I wanted to join in as well. It's like Tetris but in a way better way. Blokus is a very fun and family friendly game.
Pros: High quality
