Mergio: the 2048 merge block puzzle

Mergio mixes the merging of 2048 with the placement of a block puzzle. Instead of sliding the whole board, you choose where each new block lands. Put a number next to its twin and the two merge into the next number up: 2 and 2 make 4, 4 and 4 make 8, and so on.

There are no levels to unlock. A game lasts until no block fits on the board, and the aim is to build the biggest tile and the highest score you can.

1. You get three blocks. Each has one to four cells, and every cell of a block shows the same number: 2, 4 or 8.
2. Drag the blocks onto the board in any order. They cannot be rotated.
3. Equal neighbors merge, side by side or one above the other, but never diagonally. Cells of the same block do not merge with each other.
4. After merging, tiles settle down and then to the right, which can bring new equal numbers together.
5. When none of your blocks fits on the board, the game is over.

A merge can create a new number that merges again straight away. Every link in a chain doubles the points: the first merge scores its value, the second twice its value, the third four times, and so on.

2048 is a milestone, not the finish. Tiles keep merging to 4096, 8192 and beyond, with milestones all the way to 65,536.

Once per game you can continue after a short ad, which clears two rows and two columns to give you room. Weekly and all-time leaderboards rank the best scores, and a daily reward with a streak bonus keeps the XP coming.
