Blokus Junior (2010)

About this game

Blokus Junior is the perfect way to teach kids as young as 5 years-old the art of strategy. Similar to Blokus, the fastest growing strategy brand, the object of Blokus Junior is to get as many pieces on the board as possibly by placing each piece corner to corner. Made with younger hands in mind, Blokus Junior has less complicated pieces, a bigger board, and 10 mini-games to help kids learn how to play the game. Includes 48 pieces, paper templates, game board and instructions.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
