Product Description
Blokus develops logic and spatial perception while kids learn to be tactical. Players take turns placing pieces on their board, each starting from their corner. Each new piece must touch at least one other piece of the same color, but only at the corners. The goal is to get rid of all your pieces. The game ends when all players are blocked from laying down any more of their pieces. Includes one game board with 400 squares, 84 game pieces in four bright translucent colors, and an instruction guide.

As an educator, I have found Blokus to be a game that entertains as well as teaches students about reflections, flips, and rotations. The game is engaging, it holds the students' attention longer than the other games I have purchased. My students participated in tornaments with others classes and practiced often in order to win the competitions. I strongly reccomend this game as it teaches problem solving strategies as well as crucial critical thinking skills that are essential for lifelong learners. Furthermore, Blokus is becoming a fast favorite among the adults in my circle of family and friends.
