Winner of ten prestigious awards including Mensa Select�, ASTRA Good Toy Award, Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum, Dr. Toy, and Parents� Choice Gold Award, Blokus takes less than a minute to learn but provides a lifetime of challenging fun! Develops logic and spacial 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.

How to Play:

1. Each player chooses a color and takes a set of 21 pieces. Players take turns placing pieces on the board, each starting from the corner of their color.
2. Each new piece must touch at least one other piece of the same color, but only at the corners! Pieces of the same color cannot be in contact along an edge. There are no restrictions on how pieces of different colors may touch each other.
3. The goal is to cover as much of the board with your pieces as possible. Players who put down all of their pieces earn extra points! Be tactical. Blockade your opponents while expanding your own territory!
4. The game ends when all players are blocked from laying down any more of their pieces. This also includes any players who may have places all their pieces on the board. Scores are tallied. And the winner is . . .the player for whom the total are of his/her remaining pieces is the lowest!
