Blokus

In blokus each player starts with an identical set of geometric pieces that are placed on a common board. The player must place a piece caddy corner to their own piece without sharing an edge. It can touch an opposing piece in any manner which does not overlap. A player who cannot place must pass. The game ends when no player can place further pieces. The pieces are all composed of squares like tetris pieces. The player with the fewest remaining squares rather than individual pieces at the end is the winner. 

I'm still figuring out the strategy. A few things are apparent: Player larger pieces early. Block enemy corners. Don't create easy openings. Create open corners for your own pieces. Control the center. Identify spots for your own problematic pieces that are safe from opponents expansion and reserve them for endgame. Force your opponents to create space for you. 

It plays super fast. No math. No reading. No lengthy explanations. Recommended for all ages.
