![]() I’m interested in other variants folks have thought of to keep the game fresh when you find yourself always playing the same opponent. If you’re unable to make a legal move using a tile from the obstacle set, rolling a 1 or a 6 means that you simply lose your turn. Up to four players gather around an open field, slapping down. Rolling a 2 – 5 means you play from your tiles normally from your starting corner. Its a multiplayer puzzler that takes a few cues from Tetris but then spins in a wildly different direction. Using a “neutral” third color, the O is placed in the middle of the board and if you roll a 1 or a 6 you have to play from that third color, off of the center piece. We’ve also, to introduce some randomness, tried a variant in which you role a normal d6 at the beginning of your turn. We then play a normal C2 game having to work around the obstacles. These initial “obstacle” pieces do not touch one another. Our first variant was to have each player randomly select six pieces from a “neutral” third color and take turns distributing these around the board randomly, but generally evenly distributed. We’ve recently taken to inventing variants. My daughter and I generally play the classic 2 player blokus (C2).
