My first thought when you set it up was, "Wow, that looks really cheap." Also, I've discovered there are actually *multiple* Tetris board games. I didn't even know until today there was even one.

You hear that boys. It’s time for Tetris: the board game: the video game

Unwritten rule: Tetris Theme “A” must be blasted on repeat during the entirety of the game.

I didn't even know there was a tetris board game

"if I cant do a t-spin in the board game it isn't real tetris" said some dude somewhere

There have been so many attempts to convert Tetris into a board game and it literally never works because you can't clear lines

As a massive Tetris fan, this sounds like the worst idea for a board game I can imagine.

I just picked it up from Walmart today, what luck you have a video on it.
Good news: the issues you brought up have all but been improved! The symbols have white outlines now and are easier to read. No more air bubbles or plastic sheets, the symbols are printed on the plastic. And I just tested all the slots on each player board, nothing got stuck. So yeah, it's pretty fun.

I wanna play with 98 people to have Tetris 99: The Board Game

As the review for this went on, my enthusiasm for a Tetris board game dropped like a T block in a square-shaped hole.

I would want to buy this just so I can have that little tetris thing. I'd have so much fun putting the pieces in and listening to the little klinks ;v;

How are there *multiple* Tetris board games? I thought this was the one that I got at a thrift store, but mine is totally different; it doesn't have the whole card mechanic. Wild.

I get that they were probably going for an interesting gimmick by having you actually drop the pieces, but I feel like all the problems with this game would be solved if you were just placing pieces on a board or mat.

In the words of Board James: “Who makes a board game of Tetris? HOW do you make a board game of Tetris?!”

Yikes. Here are three polyomino board games that are vastly better:
- NMBR 9: Unique polyomino shapes based on numbers, plus you get to stack them on top of each other for more points. Plays fast and super fun.
- Patchwork: Excellent 2 player game, you're each pulling from a circle of shapes to try to finish your quilt. Also: cute button tokens.
- New York Zoo: You're building a zoo! With shapes! Also: colorful wooden penguins, arctic foxes, kangaroos, and flamingos.

Tetris being a board game goes against ever bone in my body

I personally prefer Tetris link, same principle, but I think the systems are better fleshed out.

I think the last thing he said definitely sums it up well,
Sure it's cool that Tetris is a board game now, but there's not much reason to play this over regular Tetris.
Except if you have no way at all to play regular Tetris of course, though that's unlikely with it being available on almost every device ever.

People are like, holy shit a Tetris board game. This is like the 14th Tetris tabletop game lol
