Blokus

Four colours, one board, and nowhere near enough room for everybody.

Blokus is the elegant territory game: place your Tetris-like pieces so each new one touches your colour only at the corners, claiming space while squeezing everyone else out. One rule, endless spatial scheming, and a finished board that looks like beautiful stained glass — built on spite.

Teaches in thirty seconds, works from age 7 to grandmaster, and stays tense to the final piece.

Perfect for: Families, puzzle brains, and quiet players with expansionist agendas
