Tray Inventory Management: The Key to Never Running Out of Space

The triad dependency principle

Every turn in <a href="https://apps.aagyasharma.com/blockflow/">Block Flow</a> presents three distinct shapes. These pieces do not exist in isolation: they form a connected triad.

The biggest mistake intermediate players make is placing easy small pieces first, leaving an unwieldy large piece with nowhere to land.

The largest piece first doctrine

Always identify the largest, most awkward piece in your tray first. Find its landing zone, verify where the two smaller pieces will follow, and only then commit your first touch.

• Prioritize 3x3 squares and 5-bars over single cubes.
• Use smaller 1x1 and 2x2 pieces to clear lines that open space for larger shapes.
• Maintain an empty safety zone on one board quadrant at all times.
