Blokus ~ Blockstorm Edition

Description
Blokus. What a wonderful board game.

The objective of Blokus is to use as many of your pieces as possible, before being gridlocked by all of the pieces.
The game ends when both players cannot put any more pieces down. If you run out of space, your opponent may continue until they have also expended all of their space, and vice versa.

The pieces you are given are made of a particular number of blocks. You must use strategy to have less blocks to put down, not pieces, than your opponent when the game ends.

To set up a game, go to Create a Match in the Choose a Server menu, click on the Hunt sub-category, and select 'Blokus'. From there, choose 60 minutes, and start! There are enough spawns for 16 people, in case some friends want to watch the game.

The rules of the game are as follows:
  • You must start by playing a piece in a corner. That corner must be the opposite corner from the corner that you opponent begins in.
  • Although the sides of your pieces can touch the sides of your opponent's pieces, you can not place your own pieces side by side. You can only place a new piece on the corner of one you've already put down.
  • You may flip and rotate your piece in any way you see fit.
  • You may not change your move, unless your opponent has not yet played.
  • You and your opponent take turns playing pieces until there is no space left for either of you.
The rules/recommendations of the map version of Blokus:
  • All the pieces that are available to you are suspended on glass blocks, behind where you spawn. To use a piece, simply construct the piece you want to use with your own blocks, on the board.
  • When you use a piece, destroy the glass column supporting it in the spawn area, to indicate that you have used that piece. This process will make counting the amount of blocks you have left at the end of the game much easier.
  • You can use the glass structure above the board to view the entire board at once. This will help you to visualize your strategy.
  • Try to avoid breaking any blocks, unless you've made a mistake. Breaking blocks will make it more difficult to distinguish between pieces, and the board.
  • Press F6 to remove all HUD from your game. I would recommend that for this game, as it will enhance the immersive experience, and make it easier to focus on simply playing the game, as health, radar, timer and ammo count is really not important in this map.
  • Break the green block surrounded by the black/dark grey blocks to reset the map.
If you have further questions about how to use the map to play the game, or how to play Blokus itself, feel free to leave a comment on this page, and I'll answer every inquiry personally.

Leave a like and a favorite if you enjoyed your experience, your support is very much appreciated!
Thanks a ton to my man Wilson and (to a lesser extent) HD for helping me test this map!

I would love to make more functional board game maps in the future, so leave a comment for a board game that you'd like to see in Blockstorm!
Try to choose something that would be actually possible. Thanks ;)

I must say the concept works very well.
