great game - worth buying
Comparing Blokus 3-d to its predecessor Rumis, it's a much better value. The components are better and the grid on the playboard helps keep the pieces in place. You sacrifice 2 templates (Rumis has 6, 3-d has 4), but the quality more than compensates.
The strategy in 3-d is nothing like that in regular Blokus. Instead of connecting at corners, 3-d requires you to always have one face of your piece touching another, making blocking in 3-d more critical and dangerous since you could be completely blocked early in play. 3-d also seems somewhat quicker, so it won't require the same time commitment regular Blokus does.
Other than the lack of two templates, you may be disappointed in the quality for the price, although 3-d is an improvement compared to other Educational Insights games. I have Blokus and Travel Blokus also, and with those you get the feeling the game costs no more than a few bucks to produce but sells for much higher than the quality would normally dictate. It's a shame Education Insights skimps on quality AND charges you such a premium, but 3-d is a step in right direction, so I'm hoping the company realized this and is correcting it.
Overall I'd recommend buying. 3-d has its own uniqueness and challenging aspect. Plus, it's a nice change of pace to regular Blokus due to its quickness and strategy differences.
