Excellent strategy game that mixes Tetris and deckbuilding. Shouldn't work as well as it does, but it's a hoot. There's a pretty good variety of deck archetypes and you can combine them in interesting and exciting ways. There's a great tech tree to unlock cards and being able to upgrade as you go lends a lot of strategy. Making numbers go up (in sometimes hilarious ways) was a blast. You don't even have to be that good at Tetris!
I could have used 10% more clarity for some of the card mechanics, but there's enough opportunity to undo mistakes (both the last piece and the whole level) that the cost of mistakes is low.
I got the DLCs to support the dev, but neither added particularly interesting mechanics. They're not _bad_, just underwhelming. They both require you to build in a really specific way that takes away some of the flexibility you get from the rest of the builds.
