Blokus Duo is a simplified version of the classic Blokus game designed for two players.

Objective:

To fit the most pieces onto the board by strategically placing them.

Gameplay:

  • Setup: Each player receives 21 pieces in a single color.

  • Starting the Game: Players take turns placing one piece at a time on the board.

  • Placement Rules: Each new piece must touch at least one other piece of the same color, but only at the corners. No flat edges of the same color can touch.

  • Game End: The game ends when neither player can place any more pieces.

  • Scoring: Players count the number of squares on their remaining pieces. The player with the lowest total wins.

Additional Rules:

  • Bonus Points: A player who places all 21 pieces on the board earns a bonus of 15 points.

  • Small Piece Bonus: If the last piece placed is the smallest one-square piece, the player earns an additional 5 points.

Blokus Duo offers a quick and engaging gameplay experience while maintaining the core strategy of the original game.
