Mystical cats and Tetris shapes make for family fun in the board game Wispwood

Summary: If you love Tetris and cats, there is a fun new board game you should check out. It is called Wispwood, and it is the first game created by designer Reed Ambrose. In the game, you pick special "wisp" tiles and place tree pieces on your board in shapes that look like Tetris blocks. You always start your very first piece next to your special cat tile!

The game is played in three rounds, and your board gets bigger each time. You start with a small 4x4 square, move to a 5x5 square, and finish on a 6x6 square. At the end of each round, you score points for your wisps and trees. Then, you clear the trees away to start the next round, while keeping your wisps in place. It is a great mix of thinking and fun for the whole family.
