PENTOMINOES MEET TETRIS – IT’S PENTRIS!

Colorful candy tiles fall down filling up the space on vertical player boards, just like Tetris. Throughout the gameplay, each player does what they can to get the biggest and most valuable groups of sweet treats, and thus gain the most points. Yes, you guessed right – whoever has the most points is the winner! Pentris is a family-friendly game about placing pieces on their individual vertical board. However, since the pieces are falling from top to bottom, it is not as simple as one might think. By proper placement of the tiles, players create groups of different candies, gain additional bonuses, and earn extra pieces. If you do not manage to fulfill your plan from the very beginning, do not worry! The game has several rounds, and you start them with a new space that you need to fill up with your pieces!

Ellie X. ★★★★★

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.

Claire ★★★★★

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.
