A tiny, no-pressure toy-like city builder where you casually arrange cute tiles for a few minutes of soothing, low-stakes creation.

What players say
Players call The Block a relaxing fidget toy rather than a game, with no goals or scores. Many wish for more building pieces and the ability to zoom in, and a few compare it to Islanders but without that game's objectives.
