Mattel Games Blokus Board Game

What you're getting

Blokus is the territory-building board game that'll get everyone round the table without you needing to remortgage. Each player gets their own coloured pieces and takes turns placing them on the board to claim as much space as you can manage.

Different shaped blocks mean you've got to think ahead about where you're putting them. It's straightforward enough to learn in five minutes, but there's proper strategy lurking underneath once you get going. The kind of game that keeps working as your kids get better at it, which is handy when you're trying to get some actual use out of your purchases.
