Ratings and reviews

I couldn't make this work. I kept trying to place a piece on a corner square, like Blokus is played—but it just floated there.There was no Help in the game, or instructions here on GP. Well, it turns out that in _this_ version, you start from an arbitrary marked square toward the middle of the board. It doesn't really make sense, since you're competing for space _toward_ your opponents, not away from them. I guess this developer felt they had to "reinvent the wheel".

Extremely low system usage, variety of blokus type games. Would love to see the 6 player style of blokus, Gemblo, added as an option.

I've been playing this for a while now, and it's a great app version of Blokus. Even comes with its own AI, and is OpenSource. Thank you to the author.
