Block Puzzle Game
A block puzzle game is a placement puzzle: you are handed a few shapes and must fit them onto a grid, clearing lines to make room for more. Block Play is a modern take on the genre built around a 9×9 board, with the extra rule that completed 3×3 boxes clear too — a satisfying blend of classic block puzzles and Sudoku-style grids.
How Block Play works
You always have three pieces in the tray. Place them anywhere they fit, and clear full rows, columns, or 3×3 boxes for points. Pieces never rotate, so the challenge is reading the board and choosing the order that keeps your options open. The run lasts until no piece can be placed.

Strategy in a nutshell
The best players think one set of pieces ahead. Keep the middle of the board clear, favour moves that complete a 3×3 box, and try to line up two clears with a single piece for combo bonuses. Avoid leaving awkward single-cell gaps that only one rare shape can fill.
