If you’ll look on the box you’ll notice a ton of awards that Blokus has won or was nominated for over the years, including a Mensa Select Award. So, after all that… Why the hell is this game so addictive/popular? The Versatility of a Blokus Board It’s not uncommon to see one smug player with 15 points and everyone else in the negatives. This basically ensures that the player who can successfully place all of their pieces is the winner. So if you have 1 piece left that consists of 4 squares, your final score would be -4 points. Everything else is negative.Įvery remaining piece in your possession is worth negative 1 point per square size. If you played the single square piece as your last piece you’ll also get a bonus 5 points. If you manage to place all of your pieces on the board, you’ll receive 15 points. You have either locked yourself out or been blocked out. The game ends when all of the players can no longer place a piece on the board. The same colored tiles cannot touch on any side but must be connected by corners.Īny other color can touch the sides of any other color, but not their own. It’s not quite rainbow order, but it’s close.Įach player has a pile of different shapes and everyone’s first move must cover a corner of the board so that everyone starts as far away from each other as possible.Įverybody takes turns placing tiles. It’s always interesting to see different gimmicks for determining who goes first and I’m sure you could come up with your own, but Blokus has a set color order for turns blue, yellow, red, then green. Blokus is a simple game, but don’t mistake that for a boring one.
