Zen is the block puzzle with no game over. When you are stuck, the board rescues you instead of ending the game, so you can play for as long as you like without pressure.
Tips to get better
Use zen to practise shapes you find awkward, like the long straight pieces, without risking a run.
Zen is a good place to learn how to set up double and triple clears.
Try to need as few rescues as you can — it is a good measure of how well you are reading the board.
Short on time? Zen can be left and resumed without losing anything.
