About the game
Hey there, gamers! Ready for a challenge that brings back those classic video game vibes, but on your tabletop? FITS, or 'Fill In The Spaces', is exactly that: a kind of Tetris game you can play with friends, or even solo! Each of you gets an inclined board and the mission is to fill it with pieces of different shapes – you know, the ones everyone recognizes from Tetris, with three, four, or five squares forming figures.

The setup is simple: cards are drawn to determine which piece you'll use. Then comes the fun part: you can rotate and mirror the piece to fit it in the best way possible. But watch out, unlike the original Tetris, once the piece slides down and locks into place, it stays there! You can't slide it sideways after it's dropped. Scoring depends on how well you managed to fill the space and, most importantly, how much empty space is left at the end. It's a game that makes you think and plan every move, but without that crazy time pressure. Everyone focuses on their own board, but the competition (or cheering) is definitely on.

FITS is one of those games that really stretches your brain, perfect for anyone who enjoys puzzles and spatial reasoning challenges. It's easy to learn but offers a good dose of strategy for those who want to optimize every play. And the best part? The fun doesn't stop there, as there are expansions that add more pieces and challenges, keeping the game fresh. If you like abstract games with a retro video game feel that stimulate your mind, FITS is a sure bet!

Yes! FITS is inspired by Tetris. Each player gets a board and receives pieces (like Tetris pieces) drawn by cards. The goal is to fit these pieces onto your board, rotating and mirroring if needed. The difference is that once placed, the pieces don't move anymore, and the score depends on how you filled the space and how much remained empty.

FITS can be played by 1 to 4 people. It has rules for those who want to play solo as well as for those who want to compete with friends.
Is the game very complicated to learn?
No, FITS is quite straightforward to learn. The basic rules are simple, and you'll get the hang of it quickly. The challenge lies in optimizing the piece placement and planning your moves.
How long does a game last?
A game of FITS usually lasts around 45 minutes, which is a great amount of time for a game that makes you think without dragging on too long.
