Blokus is the classic strategy game of corners and territory — now with 7 different boards, a smarter AI that grows with you, and a brand-new way to play with friends on one device. The rules take a minute to learn and a lifetime to master: place your pieces so they touch your own pieces only at the corners, never along an edge. Cover as much of the board as you can, and block your opponents before they block you. PLAY WITH AI • Smooth, hands-on controls: pick a piece, drag it anywhere, rotate and flip it right on the board, and place it with one tap. • The AI levels up as you do. Win from every seat in a row to reach the next level — from gentle beginner moves at level 1 all the way to expert play. • Rotate seats each game, so you sometimes start and sometimes have to answer. • Your unfinished game is saved automatically. 7 BOARDS, 7 DIFFERENT GAMES • Duo — the classic head-to-head on a 14×14 board • Junior — smaller pieces, two of each, perfect for beginners • Classic — the full 20×20 board for 2, 3 or 4 players • Trigon — triangle pieces on a hexagon board • Nexos — line pieces that connect at the grid junctions • Callisto — grow your area edge to edge on an octagon board • GembloQ — squares and half-squares that fit together at angles Unlock new boards as you win, or unlock them all at once. PLAY WITH FRIENDS (NEW) • 2–4 people take turns on one phone or iPad — perfect for family game night. • Mix humans and AI players, and set each AI's level from 1 to 100. • A "pass the device" screen keeps every turn fair, and you can take back your last move. PLAY ONLINE • Challenge friends or players worldwide (Game Center sign-in required). LEARN IN A MINUTE • Every board has its own interactive walkthrough with live tips that tell you exactly why a move fits or not. • Picture examples of allowed and not allowed moves for every board, plus complete rules any time. ALSO • Results with win streaks, levels and stats for every board and player count • Game Center leaderboards and achievements • Sound effects and haptics, light on battery • iPad support, including landscape play One optional purchase removes all ads and unlocks every board right away.

Think you know your friends? Prove it. Oddience is the app for all the hilarious, spontaneous, and "I-knew-it!" bets that happen in your group chat. Settle the score, claim bragging rights, and turn everyday life into a legendary competition. You know those moments. You're waiting for food and someone says, "I bet the delivery gets here before the opening kickoff." Or you're heading to a party and whisper, "I bet Dave wears that same flannel shirt again." Maybe your friends are expecting a new arrival, sparking guesses like, "I bet the baby is over 8 pounds!" Oddience is where those moments live. It’s a private app for social predictions just for you and your friends, where you can finally put a score to your inside jokes, friendly rivalries, and major life moments. How it works is simple: Start a Circle: Grab your friends and make a private, invite-only group. Only people you invite can join. Make a Bet: Will Sarah actually finish the book for book club this month? Will the new baby be a boy or a girl? Post a bet about literally anything. Place Your Wagers: Everyone makes their pick. The best part? You can post a wager about a friend but hide it from their view. That way, they don't get suspicious and change their behavior. It’s fair, and it's hilarious. Settle the Score: When the moment of truth arrives, declare the winner, watch the leaderboard update in real-time, and let the friendly bragging begin. The fun isn't just about being right (though it feels amazing). It's about turning a weekend trip, a night out, or even the nine-month wait for a new baby into a legendary competition. It’s for the bragging rights, the epic stories, and having a feed full of your group's funniest moments. Your friendships are on the line — and so is everything else.
