Majesco Entertainment has announced it has shipped Blokus Portable: Steambot Championship for the Sony PSP to store shelves. Developed by IREM, Blokus Portable brings the colorful board game to the pint sized system so you can play anywhere you go! Blokus features include the original four-player Blokus, two-player Blokus
Travel/Duo and the endearing anime characters from Steambot Chronicles.
The rules of Blokus are simple: Each player places his/her pieces on the board in turn, ensuring that pieces of the same color touch at one or more corners, but never along the sides. The objective is to strategize and place as many pieces as you can before your opponents beat you to it. Based on the same basic rules as the board game, Blokus Portable allows up to 16 people to play in ad hoc wireless mode, or up to three friends to play simultaneously using one disc in the ad hoc game sharing mode. Blokus Portable also lets players customize their own character and unlock 18 additional characters from the Steambot Chronicles series.
