I have a 9 year old and a 6 year old and they both love to play
Blokus strategy board game. It teaches strategy and requires the players to think about what their next move is at each stage of the game. Some games when it isn't the players turn can't hold the kids attention because they role a dice and go a few places or pull a card and do what it says. This
Blokus strategy board game requires the player to always pay attention and think about their next move. We have had so much fun we bought it for 2 other kids and they both love it as well.
