Great game for the whole family!

My son told me that his enrichment class played this game from time to time, so we decided to get it for him for Christmas.

This is a GREAT game!!! It takes 30 seconds (if that) to learn how to play, and really does require good spatial reasoning, planning ahead, and logical thinking. My 5 year old can play it because the rules are so easy, and my husband and I love to play it because the strategy keeps it interesting.

I highly recommend this game to all ages!

Teaches strategy

Blockus is a very strategical game. I think it is best used with 4 players though. My family only has 3 players, and I think the game is "slower" that way. It takes quite a few plays before the play becomes more difficult, and by then, my 5 year old is a little bored. She can handle a whole game, though. I would recommend Blockus, I think the game will become better the more we play and the more my daughter grows.

Jewel-like mix of 'Go', and 'Tetris' - simple yet deep.

Blokus is a brilliant and addictive game. You place jewel-like variously shaped tiles on a silver colored plastic board. The visual appearance is beautiful and soothing. The turns tend to be leisurely, as each player thinks before placing a tile. The action on the board, however, is fierce and warlike. Like the ancient Japanese game 'Go', the action is all about taking possession of your enemy's territory along lines in grid. Like 'Go', the power runs along the corners - which takes a little getting used to. Unlike 'Go', the playing pieces in Blokus are all different and unique - which introduces a Tetris-like puzzle fitting aspect to the game play. In order to win you'll need to visualize how the pieces will fit into available space and plan ahead. You end up with a fabulous brew of tactical combat, and spacial puzzle solving with the visual appeal of a Mondrian-like mosaic.

Family fun at its finest!

What an incredibly fun and entertaining game for the whole family! We originally purchased this game a couple of weeks ago to use as a "trailer game" to take with us on the road while we were out camping. Well, since opening up the box, we've spent at least 1-2 hours a day playing it. Now,our 6 year old and 9 year old kids keep begging us not to take it out to the trailer's cupboards, and leave it at home for us to play as a family instead! Needless to say, the game has been a big hit! In addition, for all of you educators out there in Amazon-land, I would highly recommend Blockus for use in a classroom or in a homeschool setting to teach logic, critical thinking, spatial relations, geometric sense skills, etc. Buy the game and have some fun!

Great strategy game for all ages to play together!

We bought Blokus for our 7-year-old son for Christmas, and it has been a hit - with all of us! It can be very challenging finding *good* games that we can all play together...us without getting bored and our son without being overly challenged. Blokus fits the bill perfectly.

We have played together several times already, and each of us has won the game at least once. A nice bonus is that there are instructions not only for regular play, but for playing with one player, as well as team playing - it would be a terrific party game!

The pieces and the board seem well made, the instructions are clear and easy to follow, and you can literally have the game set up and ready to play in about 3-4 minutes. I highly recommend this game for kids of all ages!
