Block US!



After Cathy left, Danielle was there to fill in the spot. And, it was time to bring out an old standard: Blokus.

We can never say enough about Blokus. Elegantly designed, simple to learn, infinitely replayable. I generally don't like games that have 0% luck. I prefer games that are mostly skill, but games like Chess, Checkers, or Go, where you just have a set of pieces and a definite set of rules I find to be just frustrating. Blokus somehow breaks the mold in abstract strategy games. It's just fun.

Jay, Danielle, Chris, and Manny played a couple 4-player games of Blokus.

Here's the scores:

Chris had a couple good games. Game number 2 was rather close, though, at least among the top three players.
