Lore & Background
Block Mania was designed by Richard Halliwell, with artwork by Dave Andrews, Chris Baker, Colin Dixon, and Brett Ewins, and published by Games Workshop in 1987. The same year, Games Workshop also released an expansion game, Mega-Mania, that allowed up to four players to play. More rules and tiles titled Block Mania: Happy Hour were published in the October 1987 edition of White Dwarf. Richard Halliwell in White Dwarf #93 stated that "Eliminating as many of the neighbours as possible helps. This seemed like a totally splendid notion in its own right, so the rules were designed to be as simple and unobstructive as possible, while keeping the game going at a suitably fast pace."
