About the game

Blokus 3D (also known as Rumis) challenges players to construct an Inca-style building using three-dimensional wooden or plastic pieces. Each player's unique set of cubic, wedge, and pyramidal shapes must be placed adjacent to their own previously placed pieces, testing spatial imagination. Different building scenarios impose varying construction limits, so no two games play the same. It's a tactile abstract puzzle that rewards creative three-dimensional thinking.

Hobbli's Notes

Blokus 3D takes the classic Blokus formula into the third dimension, and Hobbli finds the tactile puzzle-solving genuinely satisfying. It's a great pick for fans of abstract spatial games looking for something a bit different than flat tile-laying. The variable scenarios keep repeat plays fresh.

What we like

  • Unique three-dimensional building puzzle.

  • Variable scenarios add replayability.
  • Accessible rules for a wide age range.

Keep in mind

  • Some downtime while opponents plan complex placements.
  • Abstract theme may not appeal to story-driven players.
