Thanks to Tom Vasel for bringing a copy to Origins all the
way from Korea!

This is exactly the same game as GemBlo, only smaller and not
as pretty. I really prefer the look of the pieces in the original
game (like cut gems) over this version, in which the pieces look
like Blokus pieces.

Good abstract game, easy to teach. Blokus seems more
intuitive, although that may simply be a matter of familiarity.
This game also seems to have more legal plays (at least, early
on) because every piece has MANY corners, whereas Blokus pieces
only have a few corners to play off of ... so it's easy for
people to start playing very quickly.

I'm still no good at these kinds of games!

Lastly, I know the music in the review isn't Korean ... but
that's all I had in Garage Band!
