Funkitron has announced a partnership agreement with Sekkoia, the publisher of the popular board game Blokus, to develop an official version of the game for the PC platform. As a turn-based strategy game, Blokus follows very simple rules. Each player starts with 21 polyominoes, shapes consisting of one to five squares. Each player places his/her pieces on the board in turn, with the purpose of placing a maximum number of pieces on the board. There is one essential constraint: the pieces of the same color must touch each other by one or more angles, but must never touch at an edge. Players must invoke a clever strategy to extend their territory, all the while attempting to block an opponents’ path. But each piece is different and every move can be decisive. Blokus is currently scheduled for release in Q4 2007.
