![]() ![]() PL: One of our game designers on the team is color-blind, so it became clear that we had to add a Color-Blind mode, if only for him to work on the game! It works very simply: different icons for each different color are added on the blocks to make them more easily identifiable for the color-blind. JK: How did you end up adding a special mode for color blind gamers? And how does it work? You can play through 30 rounds, each with a different game type and rule variant. We have created a Career mode which gets progressively more difficult. Having to choose where to put your block in only 10 seconds is very challenging, believe me!Īlso, each of the four game variations requires a totally different strategy. ![]() You can, of course, select the difficulty level in the game, but also determine a time limit for each move. PL: Getting the perfect blocking strategy on Blokus can be tricky. JK: Conversely, how did the development team incorporate challenges for Blokus veterans? Plus, PlayStation Move controls enable you to move your blocks even more intuitively (Blokus also works with standard control pads). You just have to choose one spot to place your block. With this option on, once you select a block, all the different places on the board where you could actually place it are highlighted. The tutorial is pretty clear but we’ve also added an option that can be handy for beginners. PL: The principle of the game is really simple so even a child can grasp it quickly. JK: How did the development team work to make the game accessible to beginners? When none of the players can place any more pieces, they all count the number of squares that their pieces occupy. Each new piece on the board must touch another piece of the same color, but it can only touch at the corners, never along the sides. The players take turns placing one block at a time. The strategy to win is to place your pieces so they “block” the other players from placing their pieces!Įach player begins at one of the corners of the board. Philippe Laurens: The goal of the game is for each player to place as many of his/her 21 differently-shaped pieces on the board as possible. Jennifer Kye: For those unfamiliar with the game, what is the basic concept of Blokus? Producer Philippe Laurens is particularly excited to share the news regarding Gameloft’s release of Blokus on PSN! This is essentially an abstract strategy game, so it gets pretty intense when the Gameloft crew faces off against each other. One of our favorite games we like to play in the office is Blokus. With consoles like the PlayStation 3 offering a modern twist to various traditional board games, it can be a great way to play familiar titles for that nostalgic feeling. ![]() Whether it involved picking up our first chess piece or throwing backgammon dice, we all hold fond memories of playing board games.
