A classic puzzle strategy game where a single piece can change the course the game. An example of a timeless classic that lives on to this day and long afterwards, Tetris will give players hours of puzzle solving to achieve the highest score on their game and how long they can last before the bricks pile to the top. If their fingers, wits, and mind are fast enough, they can achieve that high score and defeat anyone who challenges them.
