2048 Hex Chain Merge

About 2048 Hex Chain Merge

The publisher's entire description is one sentence with a typo in the title of its own game, so the name is doing all the work here. What it promises is a number-merging puzzle in the 2048 family, laid out on a hexagonal board rather than the usual square one. Everything past that you find out by opening it.

How to play

• Blocks of the same value are combined into a single larger one.
• The name points at the 2048 doubling sequence and at a hexagonal board rather than a square grid.
• The publisher documents nothing beyond that, so the first run is where the rules explain themselves.

Tips

• Merge games are decided by free space, not by any single combination. Keep an area of the board clear to work in and the run lasts noticeably longer.
• If a merge does not set up the next one, it is usually worth leaving. Space spent is the resource that runs out first, and it never comes back.
