Blockus is a board game that combines logic, strategy, spatial perception and a healthy dose of laughter. It's one of those rare games that is challenging and fun for everybody in our family from our 3 year old daughter and 8 year old son to the aunts and uncles.

Though the rules are simple to learn, no matter how good you are, it seems that you can always think of new strategies to try. The thinking that goes into this is unlike other spatial games which brings an extra element of excitement into the playing.

This is one of those games we carry with us and introduce to others. In fact, we need to purchase another copy as the last family we shared it with loved it so much we left the game with them.
There is also a travel sized Blokus for packing on long trips. (Warning: Don't lose any pieces!)

Played this at a friend's house, it's kind of fun, and wouldn't mind having one for myself.

Another game that reminds me of family since it's one I always played at my grandparents' house. Oddly, I don't have a deck of my own.

Description

I really dig these book-like cased for classic board games - they look good on a bookshelf, and they're easy to tote to the local coffee shop for a game date. Also, I need to invest in some of the classics I don't have. Yahtzee is one of those grandparents-house games full of good memories.
