No PASSING!

The designer of the world-wide success Blokus has designed a new game, in a way a sequel to Blokus. This new game features 24 different pieces, made up from 1 to 4 straight segments, each segment has the length of a square which make up the board. These pieces are placed into the wells between the squares. There are four sets of pieces in the four colors, blue, red, yellow and green. When two are playing, player 1 uses blue and red, player 2 plays with yellow and green, the sequence of play is always blue, yellow, red and then green.

In his turn a player places one piece on the board. The first piece must touch the cross on the board marked with the same color. Each additional piece must touch an already placed piece of the same color. A piece that was placed cannot be relocated. If you can place a piece you must do so, you cannot pass. When a player cannot place another piece, the game has ended for him, the others go on playing until nobody can place a piece anymore. All players count the segments in their remaining pieces, each segment counts for 1 point. If you could place all pieces, you sc ore -10 bonus points and have won automatically, otherwise the winner is the player with the fewest points.

The similarity to Blokus is marked, not only in the components, for which the same beautiful transparent plastic was used. The game mechanism, too, is similar, but due to the changed form of the pieces it is another game, you feel as if you have bigger chances to place all your pieces - a beautiful, elegant and interesting game, a good family despite the abstract topic.
