Blokus
Blokus ( BLOK-əs) is an abstract strategy board game for two to four players, where players try to score points by occupying most of the board with pieces of their color. The board is a square regular grid and the pieces are polyominoes. Blokus was designed by the French biophysicist Bernard Tavitian and first released
in 2000 by Sekkoïa, a French company. Blokus was the 2003 Australian Games Association Game of the Year, and won several other awards, including the 2002 Japan Boardgame Prize for the Best Japanese Game (i.e., published in Japanese package and sold in Japan), the 2003 Mensa Select Award, the 2004 Major Fun Award, and
the 2004 Teacher's Choice Award. In 2008, the game was sold to Mattel. Blokus has many board and video game spinoffs.
