Stay AWAY from this game
So we have a good friend that we affectionately call Uncle Roger. And this last Christmas, Roger came round and gave us an innocuous looking game called Blokus.Wisely, we didn't open it for a few days. Then a few days before Christmas itself, we opened this Pandora's box of a game.
Since then, we've played this game too many times to mention. We had family staying with us over the New Year. We played all evening until around 11:30 PM. Then we stopped to cheer in the arrival of 2007. Off to bed and we were around the table playing again by 10 AM the next morning.
We ate breakfast while playing Blokus. Ate leftover lunch and played. Different people came to the table (it's a 4-player game) and played. Different teams paired up and played. Our girls both hold their own when playing against their geeky parents.
So...
If you're looking for something to while away those long winter nights. And you enjoy board games with really simple rules. And you don't mind being frustrated. Then this is the game for you.
And if you're interested, here's a picture from this evenings game.
