Build a puzzle game where pieces fall, turn and clear full rows

A game of falling pieces on a narrow board is a loop of drop, turn, lock and clear. It looks easy until a piece turns inside a wall or a row clears while the pieces above it hang in the air. Here is the loop that holds together, ready to build on.

Why this works

This game is a handful of small rules that never change: does it fit, turn, fall, clear. Because every extra feature only asks those same questions, you can add a preview or a hold slot without touching the core, and the feel stays steady.

When not to use it

Skip it if you want a relaxed, no-fail experience or pieces that fall in real physics and tumble. A board with fixed rows and sudden loss is the wrong frame there; use a free-flowing sandbox instead.
