description Blokus Trigon Overview

Blokus Trigon is an abstract strategy board game published in 2006 as a variant of the original Blokus game. Instead of using the square polyomino pieces of the original game, Blokus Trigon uses triangular pieces called polyiamonds that are placed on a hexagonal grid board. Players take turns placing their colored pieces on the board, following the rule that new pieces must touch at least one other piece of the same color—but only at the corners, not along edges. The game accommodates 2-4 players and follows similar scoring to the original, where the player with the fewest remaining uncovered squares wins.
