Welcome to Larry and Melissa's blog. We focus on two player gaming and gaming with our two children, ages 10 & 8. This blog will feature random musings, gaming reports and reviews from both of us. We will also post some non-gaming thoughts from time to time. Feel free to join in the discussions.

Day 10 of the challenge and I get to pick the game. I head back to another solid abstract and pick Blokus.



Blokus is visually appealing and fun to play with both gamers and children. I rate it a 9 and this is our 20th recorded play on BGG.

Typically my daughter and I fight it out for the win as we both tend to do better at the abstracts than Melissa or my son. I struck out towards the middle the tried to carve out an area back towards the edge. My son and Melissa followed a similar strategy while my daughter stayed more to the edges, trying to expand down both sides from her starting corner.

As normal, it soon became more difficult to place the pieces and the game slowed down a bit. Soon neither my son or Melissa had a legal play left. Daughter and I continued to place a few more pieces until finally there were no more legal plays on the board.

Final Scores: Larry 3, Daughter 8, Melissa 18, Son 20.
