Tetris Link (2011)

About this game

In Tetris Link, based on the popular video game Tetris, players take turns dropping tetromino blocks into a grid, attempting to link same-colored tetrominos to score while simultaneously blocking opponents from doing the same. Players score points by linking three or more tetrominos together, but they lose points if they leave empty spaces in the tower grid. Once the tower is full, the game ends and the player with the most points wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
