A Tetris Board Game? About Damn Time

After 25 years in the making Tetris is finally making it's way outside of the virtual world. While many of you might be asking, "why?" The rest of us board game geeks are wetting ourselves (not really, but it's still a pretty cool concept). Borrowing ideas from Connect Four, players must link up four pieces in order to get a Tetris. When you start incorporating seven different shaped pieces the game sounds like it might get a little bit more tactical.

While the premise is still rather simple, imagine what a room full of angry gamers and alcohol would be like. (Hint: it involves blocked Tetris', missing eyes, and a whole lot of face smashing)
