It’s Tetris. Everyone knows it and that’s why we had to get one for ourselves. As a game it is completely intuitive – you can literally challenge anyone in the world to Tetris and they would know what to do.

Tetris was originally designed by Russian software engineer Alexey Pajitnov in 1984, going on to become the most ‘ported’ game in history. This dinky and cute looking arcade version came out in 1988, well before the ‘Blockbusting’ Gameboy ‘killer app’ or the numerous home console versions that the world went crazy for, and it is also the perfect way to play head-to-head.

The big question is when you are locked in battle, do you try and make lines quickly to throw the other player off or do you take your time for those sweet sweet straight blocks and totally screwing them over…?
