2048 is a sliding puzzle on a 4x4 board where you merge equal tiles into bigger ones. The rules are simple, but the board fills up fast, so planning your next move is the fun part. A round usually takes just a few minutes.
How to play
Swipe up, down, left or right (or press the arrow keys / WASD) and every tile slides as far as it can in that direction.
When two tiles with the same number collide they merge into one, and the merged value is added to your score.
After each move a new tile appears in an empty cell: a 2 with 90% probability, a 4 with 10%.
Create a 2048 tile to win. If the board is full and no move is possible, the game is over.

Tips
Keep your largest tile in a corner. Once it drifts to the middle the board gets messy quickly.
Stick to two or three directions and avoid the one that pulls tiles away from your corner.
Arranging tiles in descending order along an edge makes chain merges easy.
Even when a merge is available, check how fast empty cells are running out before you take it.
