Tetris (2nd)

Charter
Knowing that we must always pick song Type A.

Ignoring the laws of gravity, by leaving empty gaps for our children to fill.

Mastering the art of the easy spin.

Can you feel it?

Realizing that no Tetrad can make a line alone.

Understanding that we must all rotate in 90 degree intervals, so that all Tetromino’s may disappear to the score board.

In our disappearance, we will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
