Blokus Classic
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.

5 Stars Great game to play with kids of different ages
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.
5 Stars Great Game
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.
5 Stars Fun for the whole family
This game is so much fun. The whole family can play this game, my youngest child is 6 years old and he is very good in this game and the best part about it is, that it is also a lots of fun for adults at the same time.
5 Stars YOU WILL LOVE THIS GAME!!
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.
5 Stars Great educational toy
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.
