Blokus

2000 · Abstract Strategy

Blokus

Players place transparent, polyomino-shaped pieces onto a shared grid, trying to fit as many of their 21 pieces as possible. Pieces may touch opponents’ pieces along edges, but each new piece must touch at least one corner of another piece of the same color and may not share edges with its own pieces. Turns proceed with players choosing and positioning pieces to maximize coverage and block opponents while the board fills and space becomes scarce. A solitaire variant challenges a single player to place every piece in one session.
