Perfect for taking on vacation or to a friend's house for game night.

Product Description

This small, travel-size version of the award-winning game Blokus is a perfect on-the-go strategy game for two. The simple rules take less than a minute to learn, yet the game has the depth to challenge both beginners and experts alike. Each player chooses a color and takes a set of 21 pieces. The basic strategy is to place all your tiles on the game board while trying to block your opponent from placing their tiles. The first player places any piece of their choice at the starting point. Each color plays in turn. Two pieces of the same color must touch at their corners, but they cannot touch along their sides. The game ends when both players are blocked from laying down any more of their pieces. The winner is the player for whom the total area of his remaining pieces is the lowest.The Blokus To Go. pieces snap securely in place for easy storage and you can close up the game to finish later.

Blokus To Go is a smaller, more portable version of the full four player Blokus game and the two player Blokus Duo. The mechanics remain unchanged - each player attempts to place all of their pieces on the board, provided no like-colored pieces touch edges, corners only. Unlike the less portable versions of the game, To Go has holes in all of the pieces to allow them to snap into place - both on the board and the storage trays. You'll want to be careful not to press the pieces down too tightly or they'll be difficult to get back up. That said, even with light pressure the pieces remain secure.

The game itself is great for kids, teens, and adults as there are varying levels of strategy that all age groups can find and enjoy. As a teaching aid for kids, it serves as a good 'intro game' that involves spacial reasoning, without heavy mechanics that could otherwise confuse children.

All in all, it's a good product.

This game was purchased for my husband for Christmas. We like that it is small and portable. Since receiving it, we have taken it with us everywhere we have went. I like that it is very easy to explain how to play, involves logic and does not take too long to complete. My 6 year old son, his 62 year old grandmother and our 30 year old neighbors have all enjoyed playing this game. We are definately considering getting the 4 player game.
