PSP owners have yet another game to look forward to - this time the offering is from Majesco, and the title is known as Blokus Portable: Steambot Championship. That’s a really weird naming convention if I’ve ever heard of one, but what’s important is the gameplay itself, right? This title brings the successful board game to the PSP, aiming to provide a winning combo including the original four-player Blokus, two-player Blokus Travel/Duo and memorable anime characters from the Steambot Chronicles.

Gui Karyo, Executive Vice President of Operations, Majesco, “The PSP system version of Blokus captures the same exciting strategic play that has helped its board game counterparts build a worldwide fan base of three million players. We think the consumer-friendly price point coupled with the award-winning board game content is a perfect mix of value and addictive gameplay.”

According to the press release :-

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 opponent/s beats you to it. Based on the same basic rules and intuitive gameplay that earned the board game 26 prestigious awards, Blokus Portable allows up to 16 people to play in ad hoc wireless mode, or up to three friends to play simultaneously using one Universal Media 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.
