Description

Not just another shape-based logic puzzle; this one is an entirely different breed! There are no set challenges here. Each round begins with 7 single-tile "blockers placed randomly (per the roll of the dice) on the 6x6 gridded boards. Then it's a race to fill in the rest of the board with the 9 Tetris-like pieces. Every puzzle has a solution, and the ever-changing position of the blockers creates a unique board every time. The game comes with 2 gridded boards for head-to-head or solo play, but with more sets the game is easily enjoyed by larger groups.
