Up to four players can play, each taking one side, and whomever uses the most total blocks wins. If you’ve never played, the objective is to use block pieces that look like they’re out of Tetris and fill in as many blanks as possible on a large square board. We love playing Blokus around my own home.

This part of the episode was why I tuned in originally. The game store owner is able to imbibe some wisdom into the situation, however, by having Aya and her father play Blokus along with Miki and Midori. Aya, ever the tsundere, is furious (BAKA!).

However, in the worst Clueless Dad fashion, Aya’s father spends about one full day with his daughters before taking another assignment, totally forgetting about the Christmas party. She’s of course super excited and wants to invites him to a holiday party hosted by another of the club members so that he can meet her friends. But after being away on assignment for two years, Aya’s father finally makes it home for a visit right around the holidays. In typical anime fashion, Aya apparently lives without either of her parents she and her sister make it quite fine on their own, thank you very much, with mother MIA (someone can perhaps fill me in on this) and her father traveling the world as a wildlife photographer, and especially absent since divorcing Aya’s mom. The episode is split into two halves: Blokus and FamilyĪya Takayashiki and her father are the focus of the first part. I’d only seen one episode of After School Dice Club previously and armed with that light context, I was able to get about 95% of what was going on, while my wife filled me in on the rest. This episode is quite nice, actually, and you can go into it without having to know much about the series. Okay, maybe it doesn’t go into anything particularly deep (and we do hope that you’ll find time this year to really consider what Christmas is really all about and celebrate it in a meaningful way), but light and fluffy isn’t necessarily bad, and it’s at the better end of what we can expect out of anime. Episode 10 of After School Dice Club, appropriately titled, “”Happy Holy Night,” is a clever episode, using two board games, Ladies and Gentleman and Blokus, to explain the true meaning of Christmas: family and shopping.
