![]() This smaller shape has the word “next” above it. The game starts with one card being turned face up in the centre of the table, the card shows a large, coloured Tetris shape on 2/3 of the card and a smaller coloured shape on the other 1/3. For a larger game, 5-8 players you can add the additional 35 purple cards, these are identical but just give each player a larger number of cards to play with. There are 84 cards and the white pack only, 49 cards, is played with 2-4 players. Time to read the instructions, which are on four double sided and different coloured cards. The cards are smaller than playing cards and square rather than rectangular, turning them over I saw two shapes in different colours, one small and one large. The pack slides open to show two decks of cards, one white and one purple both emblazoned with the branding Tetris Speed. On the front it showed the optimum age, 6+ and number of players, 2-8. ![]() The box is a colourful purple and orange with a brief overview of the game on the rear. When the game arrived, it was in a box not much larger than a standard deck of cards and I was pleased to see that it had limited packaging, which is not always the case with toys or games. Being based on a video game but not using a screen seemed like a winner to me so I was more than happy to test out the Tetris Speed card game. Loosely based on the tile-matching video game that was designed in the 1980’s they use the existing Tetris shapes to create patterns or shapes. ![]() Ideal Games do a range of Tetris based products, including board and card games. Board games these days can often be out of my price range so a card game is the alternative on my radar, I want something fun and quick for all the family though, as its difficult to get everyone sitting down at the same time these days. Buying reasonably priced gifts or toys for older children can be hard, so I frequently look for some sort of game. ![]()
