Description:

Blokus, pronounced as "block us", is an abstract strategy board game for 2-4 players, created by Bernard Tavitian.

The game is played on a 20x20 square board and each player has to fit as many of their tetris-shaped pieces on the board as possible.

Each player start to place a piece in their own corner. A new piece must be placed so that it touches at least one piece of the same color, with only corner-to-corner contact allowed.

The game is over when all players are blocked from placing new pieces and then the scores are calculated based on the number of squares player's pieces take on the board. When a player could place all his pieces, he can receive 20 bonus points.

This game develops logic and spatial perception and tactical skills.

Blokus was first published in 2000 by Sekkoïa.
