The most extended version of the popular game. Choose any board size and the base number the whole game is built on — it doesn't have to be two! Swipe to move all tiles. When as many equal tiles as the base number line up and touch, they merge into one. Try to get the largest possible number and beat your record. Every combination of board size and base keeps its own. Undo a move any time, but the record stays locked until you start a new game. Plays on iPhone, iPad and Mac, in light and dark mode, with touch, trackpad or arrow keys.
