About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a new twist on the classic Blokus! In Blokus Trigon, we swap squares for triangles, making the hexagonal board even more intriguing. The core idea remains the same: get rid of all your pieces as quickly as possible. Each player has a set of geometric shapes that need to fit onto the board, but here's the catch: the new triangular pieces must be placed touching at least one of your previously placed corners. It's a game that tests your spatial reasoning and planning, as each move can open or close pathways, both for you and your opponents. With quick games lasting around 20 minutes, it's perfect for those who want strategy without getting bogged down for hours. It shines both in competitive mode, where every triangle counts, and in an intriguing solo version, where you try to fill the board by yourself. Blokus Trigon proves that a change in shape can completely refresh the experience while retaining the addictive essence of the original. It's a great choice for fans of abstract, pure-logic games with a cool visual appeal. The pieces are colorful, and the hexagonal board adds a special charm. If you already enjoy Blokus or are looking for a fast-paced and challenging game, this triangular version is definitely worth a try!
