About Blokish
Smooth Drag & Drop user interface.
Blokus is a family game involving four players and a board with 20 x 20 squares. Like chess or checkers, it's a game for which at any time you can see your opponent's pieces.
No ads at all.
Each player starts with 21 pieces : 1 monomino, 1 domono, 2 triominos, 5 tetraminos and 12 pentaminos. It may recall you the Tetris polyominos...
"For first round, I must place a piece so that it touches one of the corners of the board"
"Next, a piece must be placed so that it touches a corner of one of my own pieces.
It may touch several corners, but never any side/edge of my pieces!" Look at screenshots or at the video.
The game has a nice and natural User Interface : just Drag & Drop the piece with the finger. Rotate a piece likewise.
You can flip a piece to its mirror position with a long-press gesture.
"If a cannot place any more piece I pass my turn."
You can see opponent's remaining pieces, by pressing corresponding tab.
The end of the game is reached when every player passes.
"My score is : addition of the squares of the pieces I placed".
Refer to 'Menu > Help' inside the app. With several screenshots.
You can safely quit at any time : your current game will be restored on next startup.
You play against the machine. You can configure the level of corresponding Artificial Intelligence : 4 levels. Refer to Menu > Preferences
To play against friends, you can disable AI. Go to Menu | Preferences. Later use the 4 tabs at the bottom to select next player.

It could be great, but falls short on the galaxy tab A. How do you flip blocks? Why no multi player on same phone/tablet for car rides, etc? It has no "home scrren" per second, so I have to back completely out of the game to my tablets home screen to start another game. Perhaps a tutorial would help if those things are actually there.

I like the game and enjoy playing it. The only thing I think is missing are the bonus points for placing your single block last.

Obviously, the original board game is excellent so it is hard to fail. However, there are several improvements that could be made such as better support for multiple simultaneous players, higher levels of more clever computer adversaries. Also, a few times I have noticed how the yellow player simply gives up early on in the game. How do I play other colors than red?

It's free, simple, and replicates Blokus well. But it needs more than 4 difficulty levels. Would be nice to be able to change colors since red and orange can be hard to differentiate. Opponent always wins ties. Sometimes blocks get stuck when positioning but can always X out and do the move again. Themes and sound might also be nice.

Three things would make this app worthy of 5 stars: 1. The ability to not just rotate the pieces but to flip them over 2. Playing as different colors 3. More difficulty levels. Otherwise, this is pretty good.

It is nice to have the dots show where you can move in case you missed one. But flipping pieces and getting them turned into position is difficult when the board is filling up. I'd like to be able to flip my piece in the tray before I drag it to the board.

I love the board game Blokus, and this is just like it. Some of the other versions you don't have the ability to flip the pieces, this game you can. I have the Trigon board version also (little pieces are triangle shape). It would be great to have that version too. Can play against the program, or others.
