Top 3 Christmas Gifts Ideas for the 8 to 11 years-old

#1  Blokus Classic is our #1 Christmas gift recommendation for the 8, 9, 10 and 11 years old. Blokus encourages creative thinking and has received the prestigious Mensa award for promoting healthy brain activity. The goal of this game is very simple: the players have to fit all of their pieces onto the board. However, the player can't place a piece adjacent to his/her other pieces, but must place it touching at least one corner of their pieces already on the board. The winner is the player who gets rid of all of their tiles first. Blokus Classic requires strategic thinking to block moves from the opponents.


Warning: Do NOT procrastinate on this one. As the most awarded game of the 21st century, it will fly off the shelf in no time! Click Here to Order Blokus Classic!
