BLOKUS - anyone got it - is it good?

.

Yes tis good investment

why/how

Yes, twas good until DH found the on-line Blokus site where he plays against player all over the world.
That was the end of the days when we would sit and play it together....

It's good strategy game but over quite quick (say 20 mins), 2 3 or 4 players

My dcs age 10 and 13 so quite good for them. Quite a success at Christmas playing against grandparents/aunts/cousins whilst waiting for turn on the games console

Must check out Blokus website! Yes it is a bit like one of those addictive computer games but 'real' iykwim

describe

oh sorry

Different shapes, you each have a colour. You place shapes on grid one at a time 9any order you like), the shapes may touch at corners but not against each other. You then have to block your oppenent by strategic placing of you pieces and you can break through their area too (christ this is really difficult to explain). Person with most pieces left at end is the saddo loser

Good strategically but not loads of rules like chess. Can be succesfully played with glass of wine in hand

lol @saddo loser
