Nice game for little girl
on July 26, 2015
Posted by: elefantik
from Minsk, Belarus
I have bought this game for my doughter. She is 4,5.
She like Tiny Puzzles on my phone most of all. And I was searching for something like that.
She really liked the new game. She is very afraid to lose, but here it is not necessarily the most important thing - to find a place for each part. And we can play together, and we can offer it to collect the most items.
And she did not need more ports vision through the game on my phone.

A nice step up from Travel Blokus

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A few years ago, while getting ready for a long road trip with the kids, my wife and I picked up the travel version of Blokus, along with a few other games. It was great and our kids loved it. Unfortunately, there were two small problems. One was that it was only a two player game, the other being that the pieces were small and difficult to remove from the board.
When I saw the full version of Blokus offered, I jumped at the chance and my kids are thrilled. I barely had time to unwrap it before they were scampering off to the corner to play. Add to this, the fact that they can now play with four players, it is even better that the old way.
Fun, challenging and engaging, this is a great family game.
Pros: High quality

Fun strategy game for all ages

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great game for the whole family. My children play this with me and my husband often. My son is 6 and he needs a little help, but my 8 year old daughter and 19 tear old son play on their own. There is a ton of strategy involved without a lot of complex rules. Also, the games can move pretty fast sometimes, so it makes a great activity that fits in between other activities. Blokus is a super fun family game that makes you rethink your strategy with each play!
Pros: great strategy play, fun for all ages, quick and simple play
Cons: younger players may need a little guidance
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent puzzle and conquer game.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My game arrived and my son seen the box and immediately wanted to play. We opened the box and I was impressed with the cover box design, a little overkill but cool. There were 4 bags of pieces and the game board plus instructions. First thing I did was get some reclosable plastic baggies so we would not lose pieces and keep the 4 colors sets together.
The instructions are simple. We started out without strategy and played with my son and 3yr old daughter. If playing without strategy she gets the gameplay concept easily. As the first game was about to end we did not use the 4th color. So all our tiles got used and it was a stalemate. Now going back and re-reading you have to play with all color sets between 2-4 players.
My son and I played again. We both were thinking hard and getting competitive and having tons of fun. We both have not played a good game that plays fast like this for a long time. The next game we all played. My wife, myself and both kids. We really enjoyed it. The colors are bright and studry plastic with a white game board that locks the parts in place. The only hard thing was when you have a large game filling up the board and you drop a piece that fits tight between other pieces and you made a mistake by putting it there. It was hard to get out. Have to remove 2 pieces to remove the error piece and place back the good pieces.

So far, we are enjoying this game. Easy to learn, challenging af every turn and everyone likes playing it.
Thanks Mattel!!!

Very Challenging!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blokus is a different type of strategy game, because the game pieces have to connect to each other while blocking your opponents' pieces so they run out of space. The fact that your pieces can only connect at the corners makes it even more challenging. My oldest son is 10 and loves playing this game. It really makes you think carefully where you place your pieces in order to get the highest score.
Pros: different than the normal board game

Strategic and engaging

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gave this game to my oldest who just turned 11 years old. She loves games. Especially live action vs. smart phone/PC gaming. We were a bit confused on the rules to this. (I admit that I thought it was a similar version of TETRIS. I was clearly wrong. So I youtubed it, such an easier way of learning how to play. Trying to read directions while small people are anxious to play is nearly impossible. We really like this game, it's like a larger version of tic-tac-toe & checkers, meaning that you are trying to strategically block the other player. Took close to no time for my 9 and 11 year old kids to quickly catch on. Having a little difficulty with my 6 year old, but that's only because she can't out maneuver the other two. At the moment, it seems like it will be a great addition to family game night. Would recommend, really gets their little minds working.
Cons: Low quality

Bring back the 13x13 board! This one feels as chintzy as the Blokus To Go game.
Cons: Low quality, small
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fun Game and Interesting Strategy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Played this with my six year old and he was able to get the concepts and strategy easily. But the best part is that we were both learning and the intricacies of the strategy changed as we played a few times. Like many good games there are many paths to victory.
Pros: easy to learn
I would recommend this to a friend!
