Mattel Games Blokus Shuffle: UNO Edition Strategy Board for 2 to 4 Players, Gift for Kid, Family or Adult Night, Ages 6 Years & Older [Amazon Exclusive]

We have both the original Blokus and Blokus Duo, the smaller, two-player version. I gave Blokus Shuffle as a gift to my partner after seeing some people playing it at a coffee shop and I'm glad that I did. It includes the exact same hardware as the original Blokus game, and although the instructions do not include specifics on how to play it that way, it is fully functional. We used it that way to help some friends learn the game easily without introducing the new gameplay mechanics on them right away.The cards are the new twist on the game. You'll have two in your hand at any given moment which you can choose from and they allow for the performance of normally illegal moves (laying two pieces side-by-side, sharing an edge) or totally new ideas (swapping an opponents piece to somewhere else on the board). There are a limited number of cards and each player has their own identical deck which makes the whole game more balanced than it otherwise would be.The game is optimized for being usable in multiple international locations so there are no words on the cards in the deck. Some of the icons are pretty clear about what they're instructing you to do, but other's we had to continually reference back to the instructions packet in order to understand the requirements of the cards in our hand. The instruction packet was also formatted to include multiple other languages but in such a way that it made it difficult to fold and isolate the english language instructions. Not a huge frustration, but it wasn't pleasant trying to make it work. It had no effect on the gameplay, however.As a gift this game is terrific. If you have the original Blokus you can gift that away to someone else or donate it because you won't need it anymore if you're keeping this one for yourself. Well worth the price, in my opinion.

Fun game with added level of complexity, fun with family and friends. Makes it more interesting as compared to the old way of playing UNO. Definitely recommended for group setting.

La confezione si presenta molto bene, belli i colori e la grafica. Ottimi i materiali. La giocabilità non si discute, dopo un giro di prova è tutto molto semplice. Istruzioni chiare. Buon divertimento! ✌️

Súper divertido provocando caos en el juego
