Blokus Xl Strategy Board Game, Family Game for Kids & Adults with Colorful Oversized Pieces & Just One Rule [Amazon Exclusive]

deliver was great and the game is terrific

Good quality game involving thinking skills for both my 11 year old grandson and all adults.

My boys first started playing this game at a friends house. I was a little surprised they enjoyed it at 6 and 8, but pleased to see them pick up the strategy involved. We have also been able to play it together as a family and see their spatial skills improve. Likewise, their ability to strategize improves with age. They are now 9 and 11 and we all still enjoy it!

This game is addicting. It is easy to learn. Quick to play if you dont have a lot of time or you keep playing for hours. You can play it over and over and challenge yourself to do better and have different outcomes. We have the two person one, but there are other player number options so keep that in mind as you decide if the Duo is for you.

Easy to learn and is so addicting!

Lost blokus to Hurricane Sandy, the kids were soooo happy to get it again. We couldnt find it in any toy store.

As advertised

Love this game! Great for the whole family. My 2 sons ages 7 & 8 love it.

This game, truly, takes minutes to learn, but I dont know that a lifetime would lead to mastery. The beauty of this game is that its simple enough for our almost-5-year-old to play and enjoy, but has enough complexity that the most analytically minded gamer can easily wrap their mind around. It is a great game for only 2 or 3 players (though all four colors have to be played every game), but the most enjoyment comes when 4 players are found who get into the details and try to define a strategy. The four player mode is where this game shines - unless each player places the exact pieces in the exact order EVERY TIME, it is ALWAYS a different game. If you can find someone insane enough to part with this game used, at a discount, dont hesitate to make the purchase. We love this enough that were going to be buying it as gifts for the rest of our family!

I needed another 1v1 game as our current lineup was getting a little stale. Blokus Duo succeeded in spicing things up. Im sure the original is a little more open and unpredictable but within three games of Duo my opponent and I were developing fairly tight strategies. Theres little margin for error if both players are of the same level and that can make for some really tight competition. While I think some reviews overstate the advantage of going first, player two can indeed easily get caught up in defense if they dont make a good move early. But this is where making the game a best of 3/5/7/+ games series pays off. A round of Blokus Duo is quite short, even for the pondering strategists out there. So making a series of it gives both players a chance to go first. Or even better, play an even amount of games with cumulative scoring. Either way, its quick, its easy to learn, and its fun. Will definitely have its place in my 1v1 games rotation.
