HOW TO PLAY • Drag to rotate any of the three rings — outer, middle, or inner • Align matching numbers between adjacent rings to merge them • Numbers double on every merge: 2 → 4 → 8 → 16 → 32 and beyond! • Chain reactions multiply across rings for explosive combos • Keep slots free — a full ring locks and can't be rotated!
