dont really care about UNO, but would like to own Blokus game. Can this be played as a base Blokus game? It seems the original Blokus is at $35, so the base price of this game is already half of that, why?

Looks like you can, just don't use the UNO cards. The two reviews I watched on BGG, said the UNO part of the game was a miss.

Thanks! I picked it up knowing I don't have to use the UNO part.

So there's no difference in the blokus game itself aside from the different accented colors if you take out the uno aspect?

Yeah, the colors seem duller, but for $9, it's a steal.

Agreed on Blokus being awesome. Kids and I love it. Willing to give the uno addition a try.

Can you make a normal UNO game out of the card in this package?

  1. As mentioned, you can play regular Blokus with this set if you ignore the cards.
  2. The production quality of this game is on the lower end, certainly lower than the Deluxe version of the base game (the one with a silver, trapezoidal base) and possibly on par with the standard base game (the one with a white base). The pieces are smaller than those in my Deluxe version, meaning they cannot be played on the same base. I cannot verify the piece/board compatibility with the base game. The cards are fairly low quality.
  3. You cannot play regular UNO with the cards in this package. The package contains 1-2 of each card type (a total of maybe 10 cards) for each color. There are no cards with numbers. Sorry I can't state the card composition with more specificity, my copy is in storage right now, and I haven't yet seen a component breakdown online.
  4. As others have alluded to, the use of the cards (the UNO portion) of the game is a bit lackluster. The abilities the cards provide are quite ingenious, in my opinion, but how the game implements them as part of regular gameplay is poor, in my opinion. Thus far, I've decided to take the UNO cards from this package and put them in my Blokus Deluxe package, then I create house rules to (a) eliminate duplicate cards, (b) allow each player access to use any of their cards once throughout the game (rather than relying on luck to draw them and limit players' hands), and (c) allow a player to choose when to play a card (allowing their opponents to see what they have left) rather than always requiring a card to be played.

    I might consider creating an additional house rule to require a player to forfeit a remaining piece in their pool to use a card. This would self-balance because smaller pieces have fewer points but can fit in tighter spaces, and this allows a player who might not be able to play a large piece toward the end of the game to try to recover by forfeiting the (now useless) piece for a clutch play.
