I recently came across a game called Pan-Kai. It looks like Blokus is an updated version of Pan-Kai.

Does anyone know if the designer of Blokus used Pan-Kai as the starting point for his game?

There are actually a number of earlier games with the same basic idea.

I made this list for myself:
Tetris / Blokus / Pentominoes

Other lists exist also, but may drift further afield from the central concept.
