Block Blast
Block Blast — Controls and playing guide
What you do
Place block shapes on an eight-by-eight board and clear completed rows or columns. Unlike falling-block games, you choose where each offered shape goes.
Controls
Drag and drop blocks onto empty cells.
A useful first decision
Check space for all offered pieces before committing the first one. Keep a broad open region for larger shapes.
Compare with these games
| Play | What you do | A useful first decision |
|---|---|---|
| Mahjong | Clear matching pairs of exposed tiles from a stacked board. This is Mahjong Solitaire, distinct from the four-player game with hands and scoring. | Prefer a pair that exposes several covered tiles. Two identical tiles are not useful yet if the board prevents selecting them. |
| Tile Match | Select matching triples from a layered tile board. The holding tray makes this different from pair-matching Mahjong: unfinished sets compete for limited space. | Before starting a new set, locate its third tile. Keeping several unrelated singles in the tray reduces your options. |
| Four Colors | Play matching cards by color or number and empty your hand before the opponents. Action cards change the turn order or force draws. | Keep a flexible color-changing card for a blocked hand instead of spending it whenever an ordinary matching card is available. |
