Advantages: Short but fun!

Disadvantages: need 4 players

Blokus is a very original exciting board game that everyone can play. I was hooked within minutes!

The whole aim of the game is to put down as many pieces as possible (yes I know sounds easy! That's what I thought!) The pieces that are of a range of shapes and sizes must be put down diagonally to any of you other pieces that you have put down, this means a huge amount of strategy is needed to smart and outwit any of your other opponents.

What I like about the game.....
The game is not to long- I play games such as monopoly that can go on for hours but Blokus will go on for 30 mins (if that).

There is nothing like it- I love strategy games that you have to really think to win (this is one of those).

It is simple- anyone can play it. The strategy may mean you need to use your brain but the actual games rules are so simple it is unbelievable!

Problems.......
4 players are needed- Although it says on the box you can play with 2 or 3 players it's not the same and does not really work out. for full enjoyment 4 players are needed for a game to really exciting! It can be hard to find 4 people to play all the time. Also it means that if you are in a group of 5 or more people cant play, this happens often in our family!


Despite this problem Blokus is a great game which I totally advise you to buy it will bring you endless fun, there could be a different result after every game!

Summary: very original, a must buy!
