The candy-colored tiles are way more satisfying to slot in than I expected, and since they're pentominoes instead of plain tetrominoes, every placement actually makes you think. My wife and I played three rounds back to back without checking the clock once.

Fitting those odd-shaped pentominoes onto your own board while everyone else is racing to do the same gets tense fast. The candy-colored tiles are chunky and easy to grab, and a full round wraps up in about fifteen minutes.

I grabbed this thinking it'd be a light Tetris clone, but the pentomino shapes are way trickier to fit than the standard four-block pieces. The candy-colored tiles look great on the table and my kids actually ask to play it, which never happens with our other games.
