It takes less than a minute to learn, but offers endless strategy and fun challenges for the whole family. Each player gets a set of 21 pieces then takes turns placing them on the board. There's just one rule: each piece you play must touch at least one other piece of the same color, but only at the corners! The goal is to fit the most pieces on the board. The game ends when no more pieces can be placed down, and the player with the lowest number remaining wins! Game includes board and 42 game pieces. For two players, age 7 and up.

Blokus heats up with a two-player version!You and one other player can have lots of game-night fun playing this easy-to-learn favorite. The 30-minute playing time is perfect for short attention spans and can also be repeated for an entire evening of head-to-head competition. And this game offers more than fun—the original Blokus game received a Mensa award in 2003 for promoting healthy brain activity! |
Just like the original but built for two!Blokus Duo is designed for two players. The gameplay is the same, but the action is even faster! Each player works with 21 pieces, taking turns placing them on the board. Each piece you play has to touch at least one other piece of the same color, but only at the corners! The goal is to fit the most pieces on the board, and when no more pieces can be placed down the player with the lowest number remaining wins! |
Great game for kids and adults.Blokus Duo offers hours of strategic gameplay for players age 7 and up. It offers a great way to get a game night started and keep the fun going. Game includes board and 42 game pieces. Colors and decorations may vary. |

I introduced “speed blokus” so no one spends too much time thinking about their turn, and they love the increased level of competition and playing tournament style. I love that it’s a fun game that is also teaching them strategy.
It is small enough that you could easily travel with it, I’m just nervous about losing the pieces. We’re already using a tiny Lego to substitute for the lost “1” piece.
I’ve gifted it to at least 3 different friends—it’s fun for kids AND adults. My SIL loves to challenge me as much as the nephews.
The quality is pretty good- feels the same as the regular blokus game. My kids like to play with the pieces and they don’t fit super well into the squares and slide out without a bit of deftness that two year olds lack. If you’re over the age of two, you should be fine.
Anyway, if you need a two player game and/or like chess, give it a try. I keep beating my husband so not sure how often we will play this one. It doesn’t have as much replayability as other two player games we like (I.e. Kingdom Builder) and is largely based on a good understanding of how your pieces work and thinking ahead several moves. But if that’s your niche, add this to your stash. Otherwise, it’s a good one-off option when you want a quick game!

Ahora bien, respecto a lo que es el juego, viene con un instructivo en inglés, fácil lectura y de verdad no es dependiente del idioma el juego.
El tablero y las piezas se sienten de buena calidad, he jugado ya varias partidas y la verdad es muy bueno para pasar el rato, con partidas rápidas cómo de 30 minutos.

I'd argue that abstract games like these are meant for 2 players, and while the original 4 colour blokus can play a two player game, the small package and presentation of this version makes it the definitive version I'd recommend getting ... So unless you have a family and NEED to play with 3 or 4 just get this one.
The game's production is very good. With the board being a decently weighted plastic. Nothing in my version was deformed. The pieces are quite thin (don't sit on one) but sit on the board nicely... You can even tilt the board 40 degrees and they won't fall out of place. And everything fits in a small box with a great insert.
If you want a good 2 player lighter abstract, I'd highly recommend this. It comes at a great price point for its quality too.
Having played the original 4 player version many times, this is a perfect variation when you don't have many friends. It's usually a close game since it's more difficult to fully block opponents out of areas than in the multiplayer version.
The board, and hence the box, is quite small so doesn't take up much shelf space.
