Statetris Game [Japan Style]
September 24th, 2007 by James
Want to have some fun and test your knowledge of Japanese geography? Play a game of Statetris Japan:
Statetris is an interesting game mixing aspects of the popular game ‘Tetris’ and geography. Instead of positioning the typical Tetris blocks, you position states/countries at their proper location.

“Hard” is pretty hard, though once you realise it does the map from the bottom up it gets easier, and by the time you’re doing Tohoku it’s no problem. However Wakayama was hard – I never realised it had little outlying bits, which I thought were islands. Weird….

Given that shortcoming, this game looks like great practice to learn which pieces go where. A recent Japanese quiz show had a “identify the prefecture based on its silhouette” game and I couldn’t name a one.

Oh, it’s definitely fun (though to be honest, I cannot see a time when knowing the actual shape of, say, Gunma, would ever actually be important). The other ones for Africa and Europe are cool too, though I didn’t even bother with the counties of South Carolina (I’m guessing that is where the game is based) or the departments of France.
