The goal of the game is to combine tiles with the same number to reach the coveted tile with the number 2048. The game is played on a 4x4 grid, and each turn allows you to swipe the tiles in four directions - up, down, left, or right. At the start of the game, you are presented with two tiles, usually numbered 2 or 4. You can swipe the tiles in a direction, and if two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into a single tile with the sum of their values. After each swipe, a new tile appears in a random empty spot on the grid
