Product Description
Grades K and up. Europe's 2003 game of the year! 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 gameboard with 400 squares, 84 game pieces in four bright translucent colors, and an instruction guide.
Educational without seeming to be. Fun for LOTS if not all ages. Smart logic people look out! You will become addicted to this game. I can see why this game has won awards.
I love this game. Some friends introduced it to my husband and I and we loved it so much, we had to buy our own. Every since then, we have brought the game to every party we go to and have introduced it to the students in my 7th grade classroom. Everyone who has tried it loves it. It's always slow in the beginning when you are first learning how the games work, but every game after wards gets more and more exciting.
this game requires a person to plan ahead, think strategically, and improve spacial and geographical relations. My daughter started playing it at age 7. she loves to play with it by herself and with others. the only downside is that there are a lot of pieces but that wouldn't stop me from purchasing it again.
Perfect game for our family of four. Our 8 year old can't just try and beat his little sister by focusing on making it harder for her. (As he can with a game like Sorry.) He does that, he knows he can lose by letting the other two players have more freedom to place pieces.
Our 6 year old can use her natural smarts to her advantage without the handicap of just now learning the "value" of money or her lack of "killer instinct" when it comes to a game like Monopoly.
It's a great game because it requires thinking and isn't based on the luck of the dice.
We've given this as a gift to several kids and every parent thanks us afterward once they have a chance to play.
The only warning is to make sure you count every piece before playing. We had guests over and didn't realize they'd dumped out the box which meant we had to go searching for tiny yellow tiles.
This is a logical thinking game, a strategic game which is most easily won if one thinks ahead two or even three steps.
It is the type of game that can easily be understood and easily played but to actually win can be difficult.
Players do not need to know how to read. Despite what the maker says about the ages this game is for I am sure that younger players can play it so long as they have the attention span to sit down and play it, to wait their turn and are able to play a competitive game with good sportsmanship.
Each player has one color of tiles, one shape of each. The pieces are laid out so that only a corner touches, each player starts in one corner. To lay down a tile you must touch one of your color's corners to another of your color's corners.
The player can choose to make one's own territory to fill or can branch out toward the other player's starting corners. Whether you play boldly or hesitantly, defensively or offensively is your choice. Although it is best to think ahead a move or two fast thinking is necessary when the moves of other player's force you to abandon your plans and choose to make new moves.
What winds up happening is you run out of moves due to not enough space being left on the game board to play your larger or more oddly shaped pieces. It is difficult to use all your pieces when playing a three or four player game. The games is played with 2-4 players.
Everyone in our family enjoys this game. At first my eight year old was annoyed that he could not win easily and was a poor sport when he ran out of moves but he has progressed beyond that over the last six months. My husband really enjoys the game too which is good because he is not so keen on playing the majority children's board games or family board games.
We took the game to a family New Year's Eve party and played with a variety of people aged 10-45. It was interesting to see how the different people reacted to it and which loved it because those players usually don't play board games of any kind and those preteens and teens usually only play video games.
One night we took the game to our Cub Scout meeting and played it for a half hour with the eight year old boys. They found it challenging which surprised me as the gist was not so difficult for my eight year old son.
This is a good clean fun game for young children through senior citizens. There is nothing boring about this game in the least. I can't recommend it highly enough.
This would make a great gift for anyone open-minded enough to play board games (meaning, for those who have not written off board games entirely). This also is a good game to show children who are normally accustomed to only playing video games that board type family games are fun and challenging.
This game is absolutely addictive! Our whole family (Mom, Dad, 5 and 7) play this game at least weekly if not daily. Very educational and great fun. Amazing how it teaches us to see things in different ways. Highly recommend for anyone and everyone!
I sent this game to my nephew for his 12th birthday. He and his family love board games. After playing Blockus one time they were hooked. I have not played it myself, so I am just repeating what my sister shared with me, but I am so happy I send them a game that the whole family enjoys.
This is an addictive game that everyone who tries it or watches it played, wants in on the action. Playing only once is never an option! I love it when friends of my college age kids (21+) come over and demand to play it! When I tell their parents, they're speechless - and want a game for themselves.
I *think* each color is supposed to have the same number/set of pieces. We got duplicates of two different pieces (in place of other pieces) and another color doesn't have the same number of pieces as the others. Is this a problem? maybe, but it doesn't stop us from playing with it anyways!
What a challenging game! It is our aim to get rid of all our blocks, no matter how many games we have to play. Very highly recommended.
Wonderful product. We use it at church for our youth nights. Very educational also. I'm also a math teacher wonderful use of geometry.
