I just beat it! First try.. but I've been addicted to Threes for the past week or so. http://i.imgur.com/nf25AVZ.png
If that's real, congrats! I had started doubting that anybody would ever win the game :P

I'm gonna call fake on this one.
There's actually a semi-optimal strategy that nearly guarantees winning if you're diligent about it. Just build a stairstep pattern with the highest numbers in the bottom corner of the stairs. Then basically combine sideways and downward and "always" resist the temptation to push up. Its kind of how some tri-diagonal matrix algorithms work. The only problem is you have to be fastidious about never using the one direc…

Right now there are around 2100 people on the site and an average visit duration of around 4 minutes :)
How many reached 2048?
At least I don't have to spend any more time on it.
My simple strategy was to keep the biggest blocks in a corner at all times.
Not many posting winning scores, so here's mine: 2048 and 20368 points http://imgur.com/c3aHuT4 I'm not going to claim it was first try. Probably my tenth. However, I got much better at avoiding the key mistakes: - Always keep your highest number in a corner - Use the rest of that edge as a "staging area" for the components that can next double the highest tile. Work the other tiles toward the opposite corner on that…
LOVE the game. Who knew I could single-mindedly focus on one task for hours and not get distracted.
Finally beat it, 20588.
Fun game! Now if only you can manage to get 2048 upvotes for it... :)

Each turn, one 2 tile is added, and other tiles may be combined. So you can derive the move count by adding together the numbers on all the visible tiles and dividing by 2.
This is inaccurate, because you have a 10% chance of getting a 4 tile added instead of a 2. That part makes the game tricky, because otherwise you could optimize every solution like an algorithm without ever losing. var value = Math.random() https://github.com/gabrielecirulli/2048/blob/master/js/game_...

I've been playing this all day today. I basically created my own demise.
I launched a very similar called Even last week on Android -- http://bit.ly/even-game -- have fun!
