Abstract: The invention relates to a falling-shapes computer games of the type known under trademark “Tetris”. The purpose of the game is to score as many points as possible by creating a matching set of three or more colored blocks of the same color vertically or horizontally. Blocks can disintegrate during the fall once the falling shape is partially blocked by the settled blocks. The unblocked portion of the shape separates from the rest of the shape and resumes the fall to the floor of the game frame till blocked or stopped by other blocks or the floor. The game also offers special blocks that, when landed, clear out all the blocks underneath or to its side—whichever option would produce more points. Other special blocks convert all blocks they share the border with to the blocks of the same color as themselves clearing all qualifying shapes in the process.

Abstract: Proposed is a poker tetris computer game to be played on a computer, wherein a plurality of game cards of different ranks and different suits fall in an arbitrary sequence from the top to the floor of the game frame. During the fall, a formation of cards can be manipulated as cubes in a conventional falling block game and can disintegrate once it is partially blocked by the laying cards. In this case, the unblocked portion separates from the rest of the formation and resumes the fall until blocked by other formations or by the floor of the game frame. During the fall of the falling formation, the player may navigate the formation so as to form hands that correspond winning combinations for obtaining the maximum possible number of winning points.
