Blockus

Blokus - A Brilliant Tile Strategy Game

Unlock the power of spatial reasoning, creative problem-solving, and strategic thinking with Blokus, a vibrant abstract board game perfect for 2-4 players. Quick to learn but deceptively clever, this game invites players to place coloured, Tetris-style pieces on a 20x20 grid, touching only at corners while expanding their territory across the board. Can you outwit your peers to cover the most ground by the end of the game?

Blokus shines in educational settings. As children rotate, arrange, and position their shapes, they intuitively develop geometric skills, spatial awareness, and design thinking-making it a standout resource for hands-on learning.
