It&#8217;s just regular Tetris except that it uses a special algorithm to determine the absolute worst piece to drop.  The preview pane shows you what piece you were probably hoping to get.  I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever played a game that made me so mad.  It dropped about a dozen of the same S-shaped pieces on me and I almost lost because I had nowhere to put them.  After playing the game for about an hour I decided that it wasn&#8217;t worth my time &#8212; though it definitely will sharpen your Tetris skills as you have to learn new patterns to place things.  The usual setup for a tetris will NEVER work in this game, so you have to rely on just getting as many lines as possible.  I got two lines at once and that was damn spectacular.  I ran around the computer lab screaming &#8220;OH YEAH, TWO-LINE BONUS, BEESNIATCHES!!!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had heard about Bastard Tetris or &#8220;Bastet&#8221; before and it sounded like it would be quite difficult.
