Think Tetris meets your books pile โ€� this is no ordinary reading game.

Hereโ€™s your mission:

๐Ÿงฑ Youโ€™re starting with 5 columns, each 3 blocks high. These blocks? They represent different aspects of reading described further below

๐Ÿ”„ Each round, youโ€™ll get 5 new random book blocks. You can read at least 3 (or go for all 5) and place them above your current stacks.

๐ŸŽฏ The goal? Clear all your blocks by strategically stacking 3 or more of the same color in a row or column. Every clear gets you closer to victory!

๐Ÿ’กYou can end the game after 10 rounds, or keep going until you clear your stack.

๐ŸŽ Score time:

Each block you read for = 2 points
Clear the entire board = Bonus 25 points

๐Ÿ“– Sample game๐Ÿ“–

Initial blocks

Your initial random stack looks like below

๐ŸŸฆ ๐Ÿ’– โฌ� ๐ŸŸ  ๐ŸŸฅ
๐ŸŸซ ๐ŸŸฅ ๐ŸŸซ ๐ŸŸฉ ๐ŸŸฉ
๐ŸŸ  ๐ŸŸช ๐ŸŸค ๐Ÿ’– โฌ�
ย  1ย ย  2 ย ย  3 ย ย  4 ย ย  5

Note : โ� means empty space in a row which contains some blocks where you can place new blocks in a round

Round 1

You receive the below 5 random blocks
๐ŸŸค ๐ŸŸ  ๐ŸŸค ๐ŸŸ  ๐ŸŸฆ
You read for ๐ŸŸ  ๐ŸŸ  ๐ŸŸฆ tasks and decide to place the 2 bronze blocks over the current bronze block at position 4 thus eliminating the 3 of them and the blue box above the current blue block at position 1

So your board looks like

๐ŸŸฆ
๐ŸŸฆ ๐Ÿ’– โฌ� โ� ๐ŸŸฅ
๐ŸŸซ ๐ŸŸฅ ๐ŸŸซ ๐ŸŸฉ ๐ŸŸฉ
๐ŸŸ  ๐ŸŸช ๐ŸŸค ๐Ÿ’– โฌ�
ย  1ย ย  2 ย ย  3 ย ย  4 ย ย  5

Round 2

๐ŸŸฅ ๐ŸŸฉ โฌ� ๐ŸŸฉ ๐ŸŸฆ

You decide to read for all 5 and place the 2 green above the green at position 4, the red above the red at position 1 and white above the white at position 3 and the blue above the blue at position 1. Board at end of round 2:

โ� โ� โฌ� โ� ๐ŸŸฅ
โ� ๐Ÿ’– โฌ� โ� ๐ŸŸฅ
๐ŸŸซ ๐ŸŸฅ ๐ŸŸซ โ� ๐ŸŸฉ
๐ŸŸ  ๐ŸŸช ๐ŸŸค ๐Ÿ’– โฌ�
ย  1ย ย  2 ย ย  3 ย ย  4 ย ย  5

and so on..


Each round, youโ€™ll need to think strategically, decide which books to read, and place your blocks wisely to trigger those satisfying clears!
