5 Stars One of the classics
When our kids got this oldie but goodie this year, it was a struggle for me not to tear it out of their hands to play first! I loved this game as a kid, and now our children are discovering how much fun it is too. I love that it does NOT need batteries, the entire game is lightweight, and the pieces are sturdy *just look out if the dog gets one of them after they pop up! The race to match each piece to its home before the timer runs out and the gameboard jumps up at you is enough to keep old and young alike in stitches. We did a few rounds with everyone at the table this holiday and there wasn’t a loser in the bunch, we all cheered each other on! The little ones are loving that they’re challenging their coordination skills, and the adults are realizing how easily distracted we can get when the clock is ticking. A perfect family game. Enjoy.

5 Stars Love Perfection!!!
I bought this for my kids and find that this is still the great game I remember from my childhood!! You set the timer and try to fit all the differently shaped pieces into their adequate spaces BEFORE the time dings and the pieces all jump back out their holes. Sounds simple and easy but it is a lot of fun. We had some family visiting during the holidays and I believe everyone from age 5 to 51 played it at least once!! The kids just love to beat the adults. You just have to be careful not to lose any of those little pieces!

4 Stars Fun for kids over 5
My daughter had this game years ago and loved it. I purchased it for my grandson, 4 years old and he liked it but didn’t have the patience for it. I suspect he will enjoy it more a bit later. All in all, I would recommend it for children 5 and over. If you have a crawling little one in the house, be careful that all the pieces get picked up and put back in their slot (back of game) as they could easily be a choking hazard.

5 Stars Great fun for the entire family
I bought this game for my 9 yr. old nephew and he loves it. I remember having so much with this game when I was a kid and it has not lost its appeal. It quickly become the most popular game in my sister’s home.

4 Stars Perfection

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.

4 Stars Great for Traveling
This is a great game for the car. The kids were able to play with it by themselves and together. It’s also great for teaching colors, etc. It kept them occupied for quit a while, which is sometimes a challenge on long road trips.

5 Stars Great for travel
This was a great game for the airplane. The kids (4 and 6) had fun with it and the pieces are all attached so they can’t be dropped or lost.

5 Stars Great design plus here’s an idea for more cards
I have a 3yr old and a 1yr old so this game is fun for both of them. My 3yr old plays the memory game. My 1yr old likes to open and close the doors. I anticipate that my 3yr old will evenually memorize the cards but I’m pretty sure I could create my own new cards.

1) Trace a game card and cut out new card

2) Place blank card into wooden slot and then draw all the circles onto the card

3) Remove the card then place pairs of stickers over the circles

Voila! A new game card.

5 Stars Great for home or travel
My daughter is 4 years old and has mastered this game superbly. She has learned and memorized every single card within a week. What Melissa & Doug need to do is to add more inserts for purchase. The flipping mechanism works great. I love this product. Wish I could buy more inserts.

5 Stars Fun in the car
We took this on vacation and my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter really enjoyed it. It has several cards, so you can change the game each time you play. Very durable.

5 Stars Fun playing Blokus!
This is a great game. My grown children, ages 34-27, love it. It challenges you to think about strategy and even though you plan your next move, other players can and will block you. It is competitive, but in a good way. The best game I have purchased in many years!

5 Stars Fun and Challenging Strategy and Logical Thinking Game for the Whole Family
This is a logical thinking game, a strategic game which is most easily won if one thinks ahead two or even three steps.

It is the type of game that can easily be understood and easily played but to actually win can be difficult.

Players do not need to know how to read. Despite what the maker says about the ages this game is for I am sure that younger players can play it so long as they have the attention span to sit down and play it, to wait their turn and are able to play a competitive game with good sportsmanship.

Each player has one color of tiles, one shape of each. The pieces are laid out so that only a corner touches, each player starts in one corner. To lay down a tile you must touch one of your color’s corners to another of your color’s corners.

The player can choose to make one’s own territory to fill or can branch out toward the other player’s starting corners. Whether you play boldly or hesitantly, defensively or offensively is your choice. Although it is best to think ahead a move or two fast thinking is necessary when the moves of other player’s force you to abandon your plans and choose to make new moves.

What winds up happening is you run out of moves due to not enough space being left on the game board to play your larger or more oddly shaped pieces. It is difficult to use all your pieces when playing a three or four player game. The Learning & Education is played with 2-4 players.

Everyone in our family enjoys this game. At first my eight year old was annoyed that he could not win easily and was a poor sport when he ran out of moves but he has progressed beyond that over the last six months. My husband really enjoys the game too which is good because he is not so keen on playing the majority children’s board Learning & Education or family board Learning & Education.

We took the game to a family New Year’s Eve party and played with a variety of people aged 10-45. It was interesting to see how the different people reacted to it and which loved it because those players usually don’t play board Learning & Education of any kind and those preteens and teens usually only play video Learning & Education.

One night we took the game to our Cub Scout meeting and played it for a half hour with the eight year old boys. They found it challenging which surprised me as the gist was not so difficult for my eight year old son.

This is a good clean fun game for young children through senior citizens. There is nothing boring about this game in the least. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

This would make a great gift for anyone open-minded enough to play board Learning & Education (meaning, for those who have not written off board Learning & Education entirely). This also is a good game to show children who are normally accustomed to only playing video Learning & Education that board type family Learning & Education are fun and challenging.

5 Stars Love this game!
I play this game with my 8yr old and we love it. It is fun and challenging for BOTH of us, and is a different game everytime. I’ve tried playing with my soon to be 5 year old son and he likes it untill the board starts to get crowded and then he gets frustrated. Two people can play the game (with modifications) but it is much more fun with three or four.

5 Stars Great for all ages!
We love this game! This is a game that the family plays together on game night. My two kids, ages 5 & 8, understand and enjoy developing new strategies to use their pieces up. GREAT game! Easy to understand, easy and fast for the kids to learn—they even enjoy helping each other out. Durable. We keep the pieces in little Ziploc snack bags to keep the different colors separated.

4 Stars Great game – easy and fun to learn and play
This is a game that is not too complicated to learn – just open the box, quickly read directions, and start playing. It is better suited to four people than two, but two, three, or four can play. With two people, the game is too easy. It is a fun game that is great for all ages – grandma and grandpa can play it with the grandkids.

5 Stars more than meets the eye
this game is very easy to learn and the more you play the more you see how complex it can be……..very challenging, you need to plan ahead some and think outside the box. we love it, very different and we are game people

5 Stars My grandkids can’t stop playing this game
I bought this for the grandkids ages 5 and 8 last Christmas and they play it all the time. I also love playing it with them. But the 8 yr old beats me most of the time. It’s such a simple and clean concept but has a lot of strategy. I just ordered one for my home so the kids can play it when they visit. What a great idea!

5 Stars Deceptively strategic
My son (12 years old) and I love this game. It looked interesting to me and we took a gamble and purchased it.

Though it looks very simple, I was surprised to find out how difficult it is and how strategic you need to be to try and use all of the pieces, or at least more than your oponent.

My son has caught on very quickly and I now see him thinking more about his moves and planning his strategy. I think it is similar to chess because your moves can be blocked and you need to think ahead to fill the entire board and not get yourself blocked in.

We couldn’t be happier with our purchase and we’ve even ordered the Blokus Trigon so we can bring over to our friends house and play with more people.

I highly recommend this game.

5 Stars Awesome game!
This game is great to get your brain working…definitely takes logic to do well, but it is so easy to play.

I rated the durability only 4 stars because I have seen a very used game have some broken pieces, but like I said it was a very used game.

Definitely a great game! I play it often & I’ve gotten several of my friends into it too.

5 Stars Fun family times…
We had so much fun playing this game around Christmastime, so I bought one for our house and the fun continues! Highly recommended!

4 Stars Definitely not for the very young, child needs to be at least 5 maybe more
Since this is review #400 something, I’ll get to my point. Most games, you can safely ignore the age range. For example, Connect 4 says 7+, but my 4 year old loves it. He doesnt have any real strategy yet, but gets trying to get 4 in a row. Blokus isnt like that, dont ignore the lower age limit of 5. My four year old just cant get Blokus at all, and its very very painful to watch. The brain wiring for it isnt in yet. My seven year old (who is ahead of her class in most ways) definitely gets how to move, though the strategy aspects are currently mostly beyond her. I have my doubts that my son will be ready for it at 5, but maybe some 5 yr olds can get it.

If you want another strategy game that can be enjoyed by a child younger than 5, Othello or Pente are good choices. Blokus, not so much.

5 Stars Blokus is a real mind stretcher.
What a challenging game! It is our aim to get rid of all our blocks, no matter how many games we have to play. Very highly recommended.

5 Stars College kids like it too!
This is an addictive game that everyone who tries it or watches it played, wants in on the action. Playing only once is never an option! I love it when friends of my college age kids (21+) come over and demand to play it! When I tell their parents, they’re speechless – and want a game for themselves.

I *think* each color is supposed to have the same number/set of pieces. We got duplicates of two different pieces (in place of other pieces) and another color doesn’t have the same number of pieces as the others. Is this a problem? maybe, but it doesn’t stop us from playing with it anyways!
