My point

Should I buy Blokus?: The Blokus games retails for $29.99, which isn’t too bad given that you can break this out with almost anybody. If you are looking for a good “family night” game, Blokus is fantastic. They also sell a travel version for cheaper, which would be a wonderful use of car rides for you or your kids. It also acts as a good filler game, since it only takes 20 minutes to play a Blokus game. But you could also make a short evening out of it, playing best-of-5. If you are into games like Go, Tetris, or Chess (or can answer “Yes” to the above questions), then I would strongly think about investing in Blokus.
