The iPad implementation for the famous board game Blokus. Supports 2 players and 4 players. Originally programmed in 2017.

Rules: Touch a block to select it, then drag to place it on board. Each block should share a corner (but cannot share an edge) with an existing block of the same color, except for the first block, which should cover the dot of the same color. A block may not overlap with any other blocks. When you cannot place any more blocks, tap "PASS". Google "Blokus" for a more detailed introduction.

User Reviews

Reviewers repeatedly cite slow gameplay and lack of pacing controls as the core problem, with games dragging on for days. Many report glitches, disconnects, and being kicked out, and some games stop after the first turn, making matches feel incomplete. Additional UX issues include a mis click friendly pass button near the OK button and unclear first move instructions. A common request is for an AI opponent and for notifications or time limits to speed up play. A few users simply appreciate that the game is available and that friends enjoy playing it, but stability and onboarding need improvement.

Pros

App is available on iOS and some users appreciate having Blokus to play.
Some players report their friends enjoy the game and love playing it together.

Cons

Slowness and lack of pacing controls with long turns and no timer or notifications.
Frequent glitches, crashes, and games kicking players out.
Matches can’t progress past the first turn and feel incomplete.
UI/UX issues such as a mis click prone pass button near the OK button and unclear first move rules.
No AI opponent option; players want a computer opponent to speed up play.
