Grid Coverage (Couvrir l'Espace)

Mécanisme

A family of mechanisms in which players cover a grid or fill a space using a variety of shapes, such as Components: Polyominoes. Sometimes called a "Tetris mechanism", this challenges players to use shapes efficiently. It can either be the primary point of the game, as in Ubongo, or as a secondary mechanism to force players to plan and restrict their options, as in The Princes of Florence. Games that use a single piece type to construct or enclose areas-of-control (especially when in competition over common spaces) are utilizing Enclosure.
