Official Blokus Rules

Blokus is a strategic board game where players compete to place geometric shapes onto a square board. Here's how to play:

To be the player with the fewest unplaced pieces at the end of the game.

Pieces: Each player starts with a set of 21 pieces in one color. These pieces are different geometric shapes.
Placement: Players take turns placing their pieces on the board.
Rules:
- Each piece must touch at least one other piece of the same color, but only at the corners.
- Pieces cannot overlap or touch other pieces of the same color along an edge.
End of Game: The game ends when no player can place another piece.
Scoring: Players count the number of squares on their unplaced pieces. The player with the lowest total wins.

Planning Ahead: Consider how your piece placements will affect future moves.
Corner Placement: Prioritize placing pieces in corners to maximize potential placements.
Blocking Opponents: Prevent opponents from placing pieces by strategically blocking key areas.
