Blockers! Game Review

From time to time, I reach out to partners to see if there are older games from their collections that are available for review. Over the last two years, I have worked with the team at Eagle-Gryphon to profile a wide swath of games in their legacy catalog—sure, there are some Lacerda titles in there, but we have gone far and wide with reviews of games like Xenon Profiteer, Baseball Highlights: 2045, Sleuth, and Railways of the World.

From a batch of review copies that recently arrived, I was excited to break out Blockers!. In part, that’s because anything I can use as a pre- or post-dinner activity with my two kids (ages 8 and 11) is a potential winner. But there was another reason that surfaced after I realized who designed the game: Kory Heath is the designer of Blockers!. Heath, who passed away last year, is the co-designer of The Gang, the cooperative poker game that landed on the list of my top ten titles of 2024.

Shades of what made The Gang work so well are on display with Blockers!. That’s especially true at higher player counts.

“Don’t You Dare Block Me!”

Blockers! is a 2-5 player abstract strategy…
