The Blokus Board Game from Mattel includes 84 game pieces and has a colorful display window box. It’s great for kids and adults ages 7 and up. Blokus has even received a Mensa award for promoting healthy brain activity. The goal of this game is for players to fit all of their pieces onto the board.

At first, it seemed to complicated for her, and she got frustrated, but within a few days she was addicted…
4 out of 5 stars; brain burner with only one addition needed for 5 stars Great game in a great package. The game is brilliant and a true brain burner. We play with our 6 year old son without a problem. The game does work best with 2 or 4 players, but can be played with 3 (as we do… 2 parents 1 child). The best part about the game is that there is no elimination of players and there is always a sense as a player that you are in a position to finish the game strong and possibly win. You are never out of the running. It’s also a great tool to help children…
