About the game
Get ready for a new twist on the Blokus universe! In Blokus Dice Game, luck rolls in, but strategy is still key. Each player gets their own board and colored marker pens to draw the Blokus pieces the series is known for. On your turn, you'll roll the dice, and in turn order, each player selects one die. This number dictates which Blokus piece you must draw on your board, using the color of the marker pen you're passing to your left. The first piece of each color must cover a corner space, and subsequent pieces can only touch existing pieces of the same color at their corners. The goal is to fill as much of your board as possible, leaving the fewest empty spaces. When no one can place another piece, the player with the fewest empty spaces wins! It's a quick game, perfect for those who enjoy the 'roll-and-write' feel with a dash of abstract strategy and a subtle 'take that' element, as you might end up drawing a piece that wasn't exactly what you hoped for.
