Ingenious

Product Rating:

Product Review (submitted on December 17, 2008):

I suppose Blokus and Ingenious get compared to one another quite often. They are similar in that they are four player abstract games and there are points and a blocking strategy at play. Blokus is a lot easier to learn and play and you won't feel the need to tape down all your pieces.

On the other hand, the pieces for Ingenious are a lot nicer and you won't be losing them as easily. As well, Ingenious plays fantastically well as a solo and couples game as well as the full-fledged four player game. It also has great adaptability for three players and for team play.

It is hard for me to pick one game over the other as it can depend on my mood. Blokus is a bit more straightforward while Ingenious requires a bit of number crunching. Still, I'm happy to have both games in my collection and would recommend both to anyone.
