There is almost no maths involved at all in Threes. It’s a tiny puzzle that grows on you. What you need to do is try to shift cards together to make threes or multiples of three; the goal to create higher numbered tiles, each worth more points. Each tile in Threes is also a unique character, with designs that get more elaborate as the point values go up. The game ends when there are no moves left on the grid and the tiles are counted for a final score. Free for iOS and Android.
The player slides numbered tiles on a four-by-four grid to combine addends and multiples of three. For example, ones and twos merge to become a single “three” tile, two threes merge into “six”, and two sixes merge into “12”. Swiping the screen up, down, left, or right moves all of the tiles one square (if possible) on the grid in that direction and adds a new tile to the grid in the same direction. The color of the incoming tile is shown onscreen. Players can preview moves by sliding the grid without letting go. Each kind of number tile has its own personality, and new kinds of number tiles are introduced with a screen full of confetti when first unlocked.
Games of Threes typically last several minutes and end when no moves remain on the grid (usually when gridlocked with a single high number tile and many low number tiles). When a game is finished, there is no “game over” screen, but players receive a final score based on the rarity of the tiles (rather than the tile number values). The object of the game is to earn a high score. Outside of the game, players can review their scores and set Game Center challenges.
There are a total of 12 kinds of number tiles in the game with values from 3 through 6,144. There is also a 13th character that is unlocked when two 6,144 tiles are combined; this character is marked by a triangle rather than the number 12,288. When this character is revealed, the game ends and points are totaled as usual.
