A calm introduction to reading boards and making your first moves in MeowBlock.

How to Start MeowBlock

Read the board before placing a block

Start by identifying the numbered spaces and the open cells around them. A number tells you how much space that block needs, so the clearest moves are usually the best first moves.

Keep your first moves small and certain

  1. Fill any area with only one valid shape.
  2. Check neighboring numbers before extending a block.
  3. Leave ambiguous spaces open until another move narrows them down.
  4. Use the relaxed pace to verify the board instead of guessing.
