Train your brain with this very addictive game. Three board sizes, three game modes, and three graphic themes are available! Test your intelligence :) How to Play Swipe your finger to move the tiles. POWER OF TWO: when two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one. For example, 2 merges with 2 and becomes 4; 4 merges with 4 and becomes 8, etc. POWER OF THREE: when three consecutive tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one. For example, 3 merges with 3-3 and becomes 9; 9 merges with 9-9 and becomes 27, etc. FIBONACCI: a tile can be joined with a tile that is one level above or below it in the sequence, but not with an equal tile. In math, the Fibonacci sequence is a succession of numbers in which each number is obtained by adding together the last two digits that came before. The first terms are: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144. For example, 2 and 3 merge together and become 5; 5 and 3 merge together and become 8, etc.
