Blokus (Classic)

Product Information

Blokus Junior is targeted at younger children. Like Blokus Duo, it is played by two players on a 14×14 board, but it uses only a subset of the pieces that have simpler shapes. There are 12 unique pieces. Each player gets two of each kind, 24 in total. The game also comes with a set of single-player puzzle sheets, each containing a preset piece position on the board and a set of pieces to place into the board following standard Blokus rules. It is not easy to determine how bad a leak might be for you, but here are some basics you could take into account: A game of Blokus usually takes between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number and experience of the players. Start using these strategies to improve your game and win at Blokus every time Leaks are all squares around a played piece that cannot be used later on by pieces of the same color but can be played by other players. One of the best tips I can give to you is to take advantage of the whole board. You don’t get any points for using space efficiently.

This means you may leave some empty areas as long as you know your opponents don’t have the pieces needed to take advantage of these leaks. The red player could not place 1 three-square piece, 4 four-square pieces, and 1 five-square piece. Score: -24 points Saltzman, Marc (2007-12-14). "Blokus World Tour Review". Gamezebo.com.

Let’s see some examples:There are many different options of play during this phase. There is little need for over-analysis. Options for play often fall into two groups; there may be one clear move for a specific piece, or the player may be faced with a large variety of tile choices. However, leaks cannot always be avoided. In those cases, you should aim at creating two smaller leaks forcing your opponents to play their smaller pieces rather than their larger ones. If you notice the blue N, you’ll see a potential leak for a T4 piece. In that case, an N piece might not be a good choice as you can avoid that leak. There is a solitaire variation where one player tries to get rid of all the pieces in a single sitting. The thing is you only have one of these keys, so you have to use it wisely and avoid using it early in the game.
