Watch “Katamino | Place the pieces perfectly,” a board game video for Katamino from Hachette Boardgames USA on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Hachette Boardgames USA on YouTube:

The term PENTA refers to a group of Pentaminos which completely covers the space defined by the slider on the game board. Katamino includes 500 PENTAS to challenge you. To play with two players, use the grid on the back cover of the rulebook. Place the 12 Pentaminos next to the grid. The first player selects one pentamino and places it anywhere on the grid. The piece must lay flat and completely inside the grid area. The second player then selects a pentamino and does the same. The winner is the last player to place a Pentamino completely on the grid. **GAME INFO** ⏰ Order today! https://www.hachetteboardgames.com/products/katamino 😄 Subscribe on BoardGameGeek! https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/6931/katamino ** JOIN US ONLINE ** 📧 Newsletter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=WtPZCP&g=TURjd2 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/HachetteBGUSA 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hachetteboardgamesusa/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HachetteBoardgamesUSA ⏰ TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@hachetteboardgames 🖥️ Visit our website: https://www.hachetteboardgames.com

About Katamino, from BoardGameGeek:

The game consists of 12 different pieces constructed of right angled blocks so each piece is made of 5 "squares". (Think Tetris pieces, but 5 squares instead of 4.) An old version of the game had only 10 pieces; the completely straight 5 square and the 5 square "plus sign" were not included. Both versions also have a bunch of "filler" pieces of 1 or 2 squares. The gameboard is constructed with a movable divider so one can take sets of 4 up to the whole set of 12 pieces and form them into a 5 block by X rectangle. (Where X = the number of wood blocks in your set.) The two or three player strategy game is accomplished on a square board divided into 64 smaller squares. Players take turns to place a piece on the gameboard. The first player who cannot place a piece anymore loses. (Similar to Blokus) The two player puzzle game mode is accomplished by dividing the board into two sections, each player chooses five blocks and are also given 4 small "filler" blocks of 1 and 2 squares. The first one to fit all their blocks perfectly into their half of the rectangle board, wins.
