Tetris at Berkeley

Our club fosters a community built around the video game Tetris, defined as a broad genre of puzzle/"stacker" games, especially modern clients. We discuss the game with emphasis on its technical depth, and partake in individual and group tournaments. Welcome to Tetris @ Berkeley! Our club was founded in Fall 2022, and has about 85 members as of October 2023, including 4 top 1000 ranked players. --- Purpose We define Tetris as a broad genre of puzzle/“stacker” games, subdividable into multiple subgenres (including Classic and Modern), but united by these universally recognized gameplay elements: Tetris is a game where you move and rotate square geometric shapes, which fall to the bottom of the screen and pile up. If a line is filled horizontally, it disappears and the player receives positive feedback. If the shapes reach the top of the play area, the player receives negative feedback. —Game developer osk in his 2023 blog post Is TETR.IO legal? --- We strive to foster a community encompassing all clients implementing this concept, including TETR.IO, Jstris, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, NES Tetris, Tetris Grandmaster 3, Tetris Effect: Connected, and Tetris 99.
