I'll admit to getting annoyed a bit by all of these 2048 clones. But this made me laugh regardless.

Ditto. They've actually been pissing me off since it seems like Threes is getting shorted by 2048.

But this was great. I managed to get 11032 before I lost. Just making a rules engine that could deduce Numberwang along is an incredible accomplishment.

This is the best, but I'm still waiting on someone to translate the Numberwang board game :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmiEODmYNmI

In hindsight, we should have all jumped on this and pretended we understood the rules of Numberwang, in the style of Mornington Crescent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornington_Crescent_%28game%29

It actually plays identically to 2048 (except you can only rely on colours, not face values), but I still love it. Ich bin gewangernumbt!

This is amazing! I cannot stop laughing! The first reversed number hit me like a ton of bricks and I couldn't stop.

Despite best efforts, this is still playable because the color codes haven't changed from the original.
