We've been waiting for months... and finally we received our delivery of Blokus and Blokus Duo. Blokus, Blokus Duo and Blokus Trigon are all wonderful games - simple to learn, hard to master and challenging to win!
When we were on sportlov with the kids, David (43) and I (also 43) and Annika (9) had a chance to play Blokus Trigon. David doesn't usually play games, but when he does, he plays to win. The first game was won by Annika - much to his disappointment - and the second was a three-way tie. (The only problems with the Blokus games is that they almost have to be played by the right number of people - 4 for Blokus and Trigon, 2 for Duo - in order to force a win-lose situation. Otherwise it is often possible for everyone to play all of their pieces.) So back to age recommendations - 9 is fine. I think the boys (7 and 5) would have had a hard time with Trigon, but would have been great with the regular Blokus - squares are easier to manage than the triangles!
