I still play Threes! to this day, still haven't been able to get a 6000 card even after all these years.

I don't think there's a mobile game out there that has given me more entertainment.

I feel seen!

Just over 200k is my high-score and I've yet to witness the 6144 card. Still out here trying though!

My high-score is 247,641 which is basically a 3072 and a 1536 but at that point... I don't know. I feel like my technique is lacking, it's as though there's just something I don't know that will make me better and I can't access that knowledge. Probably planning ahead for potential killing cards?

But as you say, still out there trying.

Threes! was literally the perfect game at launch.

Of course, the shitty free clone 2048 took the concept, made it worse, and somehow (because it was free) captured the majority of the market.

I still play Threes! regularly as well.
