The birth of a board game can is full of surprising twists and turns! One day Bernard Tavitian, who is an engineer but also an artist (painter, musician, etc.) was trying to find an original frame for a painting he had just completed. His painting was of an orchestra; the characters were stylised and made up of geometric figures.
For his first go in black and white, he used pentaminoes (shapes made up of five squares) without letting two identical pieces touch each other.He then decided to add colour to this frame, he chose different colours for each pentamino. Then he reworked his frame with the idea that two pieces of the same colour would never touch. This posed a complex problem - but an exciting one!
How would he solve this problem? He simply adopted the principles of a mathematical theorem that he knew: the four colour theorem. Fascinated by the arrangement of his pieces and his colours that he quickly realised that he had found the principles of an exceptional game. He quickly found the ideal number of pieces and the ideal size for the board. The game of Blokus was born!
The enthusiasm which immediately greeted him when he presented his game inspired a real vocation in Bernard Tavitian, and he has since invented more than thirty games in different styles, several of which have won awards
