Play Blokus - if you can find someone to play against

Red and Yellow were playing Blue and green

Blokus is a nice looking game with bright “tetris-like” pieces that players take it in turns to place on a grid. There is only one rule. Any piece you add to the grid must touch one or more pieces of that colour that you already put down - but only on corners. The winner is the player who gets the greatest number of pieces on the board before getting stuck. You start in the corners and then play inexorably moves towards the centre as folks try to carve out areas of their own. If you have two players each player controls two colours.

It’s a quick but highly tactical game. I’ve played it twice and won it twice so far. I’m running out of people to play it against. I might explain the rules to ChatGPT and see if it can rustle up an opponent for me.
