Description
To start the game, each player draws a different quadromino at the bottom of their individual game sheet. On a turn, the active player rolls two dice — a colored d6 and a numbered d4 — then optionally rolls both dice again. The two dice determine which specific quadromino — that is, which colored shape and in which orientation — all players must "drop" into their grid. To represent this, you draw an outline of the block at the bottom of your sheet as if you had dropped it in from the top, then X out the spaces covered by the quadromino.
If you cover a circle on the grid that's the same color as the quadromino just placed there, you collect two energy points. By spending one energy point on a turn, you can possibly "rotate" the quadromino to be placed depending on what dice were rolled; by spending five energy points, you can place exactly the quadromino you want, ignoring the result of the dice. As you collect energy, you might cover an X on the energy chart; if you do, you track these Xs on a separate "extra point" bar, with the points escalating for each X you collect. If you complete 2-4 lines through the placement of a single quadromino, you collect an additional 1-4 Xs for this extra point bar.
Each player has three bombs they can spend to blow up a block instead of placing it, but by doing so you give up endgame points.
As soon as you can no longer place a quadromino in your grid, your game is over. Once everyone has filled their grid to the top, tally your points. In addition to the extra points bar and any bombs unused, you score 1-5 points for each horizontal line that contains 8-10 Xs, with these line points doubling, or even quadrupling, as you go higher in the grid. Whoever scores the most points wins!

Great game for zoom | |
This was purchased as a Christmas gift. We normally play games over the holidays but couldn't do so in person this year. This one was an instant hit for our family zoom game night. Everyone recognizes the tetris theme right away and found it fun and easy to play, although its a bit of a brain burner sometimes. We changed one rule so that only those of us with the copy of the game were rolling the dice, and no one was altering the pieces. It made it more challenging perhaps but worked better for zoom. |

Tetris | |
Si vous aimez Tetris, vous aimerez ce jeu. On peut y jouer seul aussi. C’est un bon petit jeu où on dessine et on use de stratégie. |
