Sometimes this is amusing, but sometimes it can get rather dreary. Often, the games that they want to play don't have enough strategy and mental work to them to be interesting to an adult. Either that or the games are exceedingly short and repetitive (or long and interminable).
But this game—this game is an absolute *blast*. I say that as an adult, It has a defined length (as many turns as the number of pieces) that turns out to be just about right—somewhere between 15 and 25 minutes. And it is simple and intuitive to learn, and colorful, too—great for kids. And it is also very much a strategy game and also a game that relies on skill (visual and tactical)—great for adults.
I actually love playing this with them, and get to feel the satisfaction of seeing them exercise their minds and grasp strategic concepts as they play it. Very rewarding.
A brilliant little game. Highly recommended.
Blokus is great for 2-4 people (it's more challenging with 3-4 people since the more pieces on the board the more difficult it is to get all your pieces to fit.) The main goal of the game is to get all of your colored pieces on the board. To play, you simply take turns putting pieces on the board. The challenge is that your pieces can only connect to your other pieces by their corners. So big part of this game is preventing your opponents from putting their pieces down by blocking the corners of their pieces. Hence the name Blokus. It is a really fun strategy game and I enjoy blocking my opponents.
The board fills up pretty quickly so this game is great to play to kill a few minutes of time. It won't last hours but you'll want to play again and again!
It says ages 7+ on the box but I played this game with a 5 year old who beat me and two other grown adults. So it can be a really fun strategy game for just about everyone.
I highly recommend giving it a try!

My 5-year old and 8-year old play this game together and it is terrific. The game does not require any reading nor any other parent involvement, so it is a truly independent game for them to play. We play it non-competitively, so the idea is just to fill up as much of the board as possible. This helps to avoid upsets from one or the other winning, and they just work together in a strategizing way.
