Folks, welcome to Wishlist After Dark! It's Blokus by Mattel Games, a strategy board game, and it's the perfect gift for families and kids seven and up! Here with me: our happiest golden retriever, Sunny, and our review-reading magpie, Penny Pickwell. Hi, everybody! Oh, Marty, I love this one! Hello, you. I brought the fine print. Two to four players, folks! Sunny, how's it play? Everyone's placing their 21 pieces, and each piece has to touch another of the same color, but only at the corners!

Only the corners? Okay, that's sneaky. Isn't it clever, Penny? And that's straight from the listing. But wait, there's more! Look at this, folks: 84 pieces in four colors, 21 for each player! Oh, I can see it! The wrapping comes off and the whole family's fighting over who gets which color! Sunny, they're already playing. What's actually in the box? One game tray, those 84 pieces and one scorepad! Now, the catch.

Blokus also comes as Duo, X L, Giant, Trigon and Shuffle U N O, and only some of them match this classic set. Okay, Penny, how do I get the right one? Check the edition before you buy, Marty. Also, Amazon refused our page fetch, so we haven't read buyer complaints or seen a star rating. Penny, batteries? And your honest score? The listing details don't mention batteries, and it's ages seven and up, so skip it for littler kids.

Me? I say buy, eight point two out of ten, number four of the four games on our board. Families and strategy lovers, this one's for you, and the maker's page has more! The link's on our site and in the description. See you next time!
