A calm number puzzle on a hexagonal board. No ads. No tracking. No in-app purchases. Tap a tile, and every neighbour with the same Roman numeral slides into it. The numeral goes up by one for each tile that joins, so a patient player who lets a cluster of I's grow to four can make a IV in a single tap. Tap too early and you get a II. Reach XV to win, then keep going for a higher score. • Tap to merge. No swiping, no dragging. • Bigger merges score more: a Triple, a Quad, or the rare Full Circle with all six neighbours. • Stuck? The "+" button adds a tile when you need one. • See how each game went: the numeral you reached, your score, your biggest merge, time, and moves, set against your personal bests. • Game Center leaderboards for score, numeral, and the fastest time to each numeral from X. • Haptic feedback that follows the size of each merge. • Sound that follows the numerals: each merge plays a rising chord, higher for a higher numeral and fuller for a bigger merge. No energy, no lives, no timers that make you wait. Play as long as you like.
