Video gamesįunkitron developed a PC casual game version of Blokus called Blokus World Tour. Players attempt to place their blocks such that at the end of the game, when the structure is viewed from above, their color has the most squares showing. The object is to build one of four different structures, each with its own placement limitations: the Tower, Wall, Steps, and Pyramid. Also, a player placing a piece cannot do so if it would create any empty space underneath any part of the piece. There is also a major rule change instead of being required to place pieces so they touch corner-to-corner, a piece must be placed such that it touches a face of another piece of the same color. However Rumis was rebranded into Blokus 3D since Blokus brand was stronger than Rumis. Stefan Kögl created Rumis independently from Bernard Tavitian, and are not related. Rumis/Blokus 3Dīlokus 3D, originally marketed in a Mayan theme as Rumis, uses pieces made up of unit cubes, in every permutation of three and four cubes in three dimensions. The game also comes with a set of sheets with single-player puzzles, which show positions in which the player needs to connect two pieces following standard Blokus rules. Each player gets two of each kind, 24 in total. Like Blokus Duo, it is played by two players on a 14×14 board but it uses only a subset of the pieces that have a supposedly simpler shape. Blokus Juniorīlokus Junior is targeted at younger children. Blokus Giantīlokus Giant is a larger version, with the game board being about 570 mm (22 in) square. The same rules apply, meaning that 2 edges cannot touch however, as it is isometric, a corner touching an edge is possible. Blokus Trigonīlokus Trigon uses pieces made up of triangles rather than squares ( polyiamonds), and is played on a hexagonal board, a version optimized for three players but can be played with 2, 3, or 4 players. Even more than with the original game, Blokus Duo is an offence-centred game it is also a much purer strategy game than the four-player game, since one is not in danger of getting ganged up on by three other players (as sometimes happens with the four-player version). This makes a crucial difference in the flavour of the game, because players' pieces may (and usually do) touch after the first move. The two starting squares are placed, not in the corner (as in the original Blokus game) but nearer to the centre. Blokus Duo/Travel Blokusīlokus Duo is for two players only, and uses a smaller (14×14) board the piece colors are purple and orange. Sekkoïa and its distributors manufacture four additional versions of the game. In three-player games, either one of the players takes two colors or else "the pieces of the fourth color are placed on the board in a non-strategic way." Expansions and spinoffs In two-player games, each player takes two colors. Two and three player variationsīlokus rules allow for two and three player games also. If a player played all of his or her pieces, he or she gets a bonus score of +20 points if the last piece played was a monomino, +15 points otherwise. When a game ends, the score is based on the number of squares in each player's pieces on the board (e.g. The game ends when no one can place a piece.
