Just leave this game on a table and pretty soon somebody is playing with the pieces. I've also seen kids play a version of solitaire by seeing how many pieces they can fit on the board before there is no more room. And, to be honest, I've found adults will absentmindedly start arranging the pieces in designs as well. I have to admit, when my daughter was younger, if I was busy doing something else, I'd break out the game and she'd spend a half hour just arranging the tiles on the board and making designs. I just break out Blokus while we're waiting and, next thing you know, you have a crowd wanting to play.

I often find myself waiting for one kid or another at an activity. Because the game only lasts about twenty or so minutes, this is a great game to take with us during the day. This game is so easy that I've had children as young as five easily catch on and still have adults who have just as good a time playing a round.

Why Blokus Has a Permanent Home in the Trunk of my Car The object is to use all your pieces (or have the fewest squares remaining) which gets a mite tricky when everybody else has their pieces spread all over the board as well. When you have several pieces on the board, as long as your new piece touches the corner of any of your pieces and does not lie side by side to that piece, you are good.

After that, you simply place your next piece corner to corner with that piece. Each player, in turn, places a piece in their respective corners. Blokus must be the easiest game ever to learn.
