bastet

bastet (Bastard Tetris) is a Tetris clone with a twist - it chooses the worst possible piece for your current situation. The game analyzes your board and deliberately gives you pieces that are hardest to place, making it significantly more challenging than standard Tetris.
The game provides a humorous and difficult take on the classic puzzle game.

Significantly harder than normal Tetris. Requires terminal with color support. Part of some game packages. May be frustrating by design.

bastet was created by Federico Poloni around 2005 as a deliberately difficult variant of Tetris using an algorithm to select worst-case pieces.
