Overview

Blokus is an abstract strategy game where players compete to place as many of their uniquely shaped tetris-like pieces onto the board as possible. Each piece placed must touch another piece of the same color, but only at the corners, not along the edges. This creates a fascinating puzzle-like experience as players must strategically expand their territory while simultaneously blocking their opponents.

The game continues until no more pieces can be placed. Players calculate their score based on the pieces they have remaining, and the player with the lowest score wins. Mastering Blokus involves anticipating your opponents' moves, optimizing your own placement, and effectively managing your hand of pieces to maximize your territory on the board.
