I can only add to the glowing recommendations for Blokus strategy board game. It is hard to find a game with rules this simple but yet so challenging (for ANY age!). There is really only ONE rule -- the correct way to place a piece on the board. A piece can only touch the corner (not the side) of another same color piece. I only have one recommendation regarding this game: it needs to be played with 4 people to really be enjoyed. It can be played with two people but each person must play two colors, so that the board can fill up. The strategy and fun is when the board starts filling up and you start running out of spots to place your piece. If you only play with two colors on the board, then their will be plenty of room and no strategy will be needed. Buy the game, you'll love it!
