What happens when two number tiles meet?
Matching tiles combine into one tile with a higher value. The rule allows each tile to merge only once in a move, which stops one piece from cascading through several values at once. Players must watch the whole board, not just the pair they hope to combine.
Does the game stop at 2048?
The player gets a win moment when a tile reaches 2048, then can choose to continue. That lets the classic goal feel meaningful without forcing someone to abandon a board they still want to solve. The game can resume from its saved state after a break.
What makes a good next move?
A useful move creates space while keeping larger tiles near one side of the board. Because every slide can shift several rows and columns, an apparently small choice may block a later merge. The sample is a way to explore how a simple rule can create a deeper planning puzzle.
