Unparalleled Longevity?

Seriously, will Tetris ever be forgotten? It doesn't seem to matter how many years go by, people still play this game every time they release a new variant of it. What makes Tetris so addicting and why does it still hold up decades after it was first released?

Because it's the simplest concept in the world and ticks every single box for filling our chimpanzee brains with dopamine.

Ook ook, me line up blocks. Blocks get zap. Me get number bigger.

It's communist garbage and you're a fucking loser for thinking this is pile of shit "holds up". Kill yourself in the most painful way possible, preferably with any family you have watching. You'll think they're crying because they're sad you're dying, but really they're tears of happiness.

Wow, someone get this 11 year old an award for Edgiest Post of the Day.

Playing and watching 51 Worldwide Classics recently made me wonder if a table top game approach to Tetris would work, similar to Connect four.

The premise would be that two players take alternating turns placing pieces in a shared tetrimino field. Players would earn points by successfully clearing lines on their turn, with more lines cleared earning a greater number of points.

This would be a strategic game of blocking your opponent's attempts to get a Tetris whilst trying to get your own, placing pieces to build a stack with forethought rather than reflex time.

Rules could be something like first player to earn a certain points threshold wins.
Not sure if the players would share the same pool of random pieces or if they would have separate bags, or if they would be able to see the other player's queued pieces.
The option to hold a piece would probably be a key strategy. Holding a piece would effectively skip a turn, which might force your opponent to take another turn, but you can't hold another piece until you use your held piece.

I feel like the idea has a ton of potential, but it needs a lot more thought and planning.

It's a perfect game, you can pick up and play whenever.

This is a very interesting concept you've illustrated.

Pokemon Puzzle League it ain't.

Are you talking about Tetris 99? Because winning the Battle Royale mode is not exactly something you do every day you play......if you routinely place in the top 20 you're a fairly good player.
