A handful of us, four to be precise, got together to watch a movie on Saturday. Other gatherings with that group have been games nights and we haven't played any games. Saturday it was a movie night and the movie was not watched, we played games instead.
And we got silly.
We put together this blokus board trying to legally get all the pieces on the board in such a manner that except for a rotation of 90 degrees, each colors pattern was identical to all of the others.

Anyone want to try to do better? Better being defined two ways, either you get all the pieces on the board, or you wind up with a smaller piece left over. More's the better if you can keep the singletons arranged at the very center of the board.
I really want to get the triangle version, my brain likes it much better.
