#4 Blokus Classic Game

Blokus is one of the best selling board games of all time. The game is a strategy board game that focuses on spatial reasoning. The best part is that Blokus encourages creative thinking. The game has even received several awards including the Mensa award for promoting healthy brain activity. The premise of the game is extremely simple. Each player must place each of their pieces onto the game board. When placing a piece it must not lie adjacent to another players piece. On top of that the piece that your placing must also touch the corner of one of the pieces that you've already played on the board.

The player who gets rid of all their pieces first is the winner. Overall we don't think you're going to get a better board game than this. Even though the game is simple and easy to understand. The complexity is soon revealed to players after they begin playing. The game is especially addicted to those who like playing abstract games.
