Teaches Strategy And It's Fun, What Can't It Do? By Taylor Hansen on Jun 28, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

For Christmas, my family always gets at least one board game so that we can all have a good time together. And with Blokus, that's exactly what we did. Blokus is a game of strategy that's fun for everyone. The age recommendation is 5-adult but I think it may be to strategic for a 5 year old. I would think it's more for kids ten and up. The game allows 2-4 people to play at once. It's a simple concept once you get the hang of it. You start with a corner of one of you 16 different pieces in the corner. Then after each person goes, it's your turn again and you put the corner of the next piece touching any corner of any of your pieces, but no sides of any of your pieces can touch which is the tough part of the game. It's a great game and everyone's sure to have fun!
