Blokus has become a popular game because it encourages creative and quick thinking. While playing Blokus you'll be faced with the challenge of getting all of your pieces onto the board. This sounds easy enough, but when you have other players that are trying to do the same thing, it can become quite the sticky situation.
Oh, did we forget to mention there are rules about where you can place your pieces in the game of Blokus? Your pieces can't be played next to any of your other pieces, but they do have to be touching by at least one corner of a piece that has been placed on the board previously. The player that gets rid of all their pieces first wins Blokus. It's also possible for no one to be the winner of Blokus because there are no more available spots on the board.
Some strategy might be to try and place your odd shapped pieces first so when the board gets filled up, the simple pieces are easier to place. Blocking other players is possible but harder than you think since they seem to always be able to sneak through your blockade. At the end of the game, it's always amazing to see how little of the game board is left open. Blokus is a great game that will vary each time you play. Be sure to try out Blokus today!

I have never even heard or seen this game until I was over at my sisters house and she pulled it out for her kids to play. I played with them and it was a blast. Easy to learn how to play since the kids told me all the game rules. Good game!
