Callisto game is a geometric and spatial strategy board game for the whole family. It is a mixture of Blokus and Tetris.

Callisto is an educational learning game that develops visual spatial, non-verbal reasoning and strategy skills. The game actually plays well with either 2, 3 or 4 players.

Callisto is a board game that combines complete simplicity with brilliant game design. It is a strategy game designed by the world's most accomplished games inventor, Reiner Knizia.

How it works...

The object of the game is to get rid of all of your coloured tiles onto the game board. Each tile you place must always be placed next to another tile of your colour. Any tiles left unplaced at the end of the game score points based on their size and the player with the lowest points total wins the game.

Start off by choosing a tile colour then take all 18 tiles and 3 pillars of your colour. After each player has first laid down two pillars you then all take it in turns to place a tile on the board. There are only two rules for placement of tiles:

Rule 1 - Tiles must either be placed next to a pillar or another piece of the same colour (side to side, not corner to corner as with Blokus).

Rule 2 - In a 2 or 3 player game, players may not place tiles covering any part of the darker outer area (placement of tiles on the darker centre section is allowed).

Your 3rd pillar can be placed on any turn (particularly useful should the other players block you in!). Play continues until nobody can play any more pieces on the board. At this point scores are established by adding up the number of dots on each remaining tile and the lowest score wins that game. Play as many games as there are players then add up the scores and the player with the lowest score is the overall winner.
