What are grid-filling games?
A family of mechanisms in which players cover a grid or fill a space with a variety of shapes.
Sometimes referred to as the "Tetris mechanism," this challenges players to use shapes efficiently. It can be either the primary point of the game, as in Ubongo or Blokus - or as a secondary mechanism that forces players to plan and constrain their options, as in The Princes of Florence or Cartographers.
Grid Coverage is sometimes also called "grid filling".
