It actually plays identically to 2048 (except you can only rely on colours, not face values), but I still love it. Ich bin gewangernumbt! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJs3Tsx-3Ak

It's impossible to lose. Just hold down an arrow and watch your score go up.

Carol Vordaman is just brilliant.

To tie back full circle [1], if anyone hasn't seen it there's a great UK show called Only Connect. It may appeal to people on here as it's a fiendishly difficult pattern matching game.

You can lose, and it's worth it to see it happen!

No, it doesn't! I was doing well, and then it suddenly changed the color of one of my tiles. It was the largest tile I had (which I always keep in the lower left, so it was very distinctive), and it dropped by a factor of 8 (3 colors) or so. At least I'm pretty sure that's what happened...
