In the game 2048, players are presented with a 4x4 grid populated by numbered tiles. The objective is to slide these tiles using swipe gestures or arrow keys, combining identical numbers to create higher-value tiles. At the start of the game, the grid randomly features tiles bearing the numbers 2 or 4. The ultimate goal is to reach the elusive 2048 tile—or even go beyond to even higher numbers. Each successful merge adds excitement and strategy to the gameplay, as players continuously strive for higher scores and more challenging tiles.
