Blokus rating: 5/5 stars Simple Strategy at its Finest

I've been playing this game for a couple of months now, and I cannot get tired of it. There are endless combinations and strategies you can employ to your advantage as you play the game (and sometimes the players) which makes this game a hit with my college friends. Simply Fun!

Blokus rating: 5/5 stars The Best

I got this game on a whim 4 years ago when I was surfing for some Christmas ideas for my then 6 yr old son. We have played countless games since. I have bought and given this game at least 10 times, all with great feedback from the recipients. Many of our friends have gone out and bought it on our recommendation and have loved it. It's easy to learn, fun to play, and the level of play depends of the players. My now 10 yr old has learned some really good strategy skills from this game. It's not unusual for him to beat 3 adults. ***Remember- when playing with 2 or 3 people, you must always have all 4 colors in play, per the instructions. If 2 players, each person plays 2 colors. If 3 players, each person plays 1 color, and then each player takes turns playing the 3rd color. You will find the game can be quite challenging when you're fighting with your own 2nd color for real estate.

Blokus rating: 4/5 stars Neat but caution

I love this game! But we've found that for family play, it's best to explicitly decide ahead of time if we're going to play "all out" (that is, aggressively), or more "for fun." We've found that, for our youngest daughter, time spent playing with the pieces in more cooperative ways (e.g., seeing if we can fit all the pieces onto the board at the same time; seeing what patterns we can make with the colors), has helped her feel like she can have some mastery, too. (Yes, we probably sometimes do play too seriously, too!)

Blokus rating: 5/5 stars Love it!

This is game is great when 4 people play. The rules are simple but it still makes you think. We also have Blockus duo, which is for 2 two people. You really can't play the full size Blokus with 2 people. But over Christmas, Blokus was the game of choice for everyone! We love it!

Blokus rating: 5/5 stars love it!!!

Our whole family enjoys this game. My youngest, 10 yrs old, seems to beat the adults almost every time!!!

Blokus rating: 3.5/5 stars 

This game is boring with 2 players, with 3 its to easy really you need 4 people for it to be really fun and challenging.

Blokus rating: 4/5 stars Highly Recommended

Blokus is a fun game which you can jump right into and play. The rules can be learnt in 3 minutes, and the basic strategy is not complicated -- though it has some depth. Plays quickly, and is easily enjoyed by a family of non-gamers. I first played this game with my wife's family, and even her 78 year-old grandmother picked it up right away and had a great time.

One caution: This game can be cutthroat, as it involves staking and protecting your claim on a precious resource -- board space. Playing well may require not playing nice, so take care if you're the type that takes games too seriously.
