Tiles with the same number join together to get their sum (e.g. an 8 and an 8 join to make a 16) but the trick is... in order to join two tiles, one of them has to be either the current tile falling down or one of its descendants! (e.g. if a 2 is falling you can move it onto another 2 to get a 4, at which point this 4 will be considered the 'current falling' piece). Your goal is the same as the more classic variant... get a total of 2048!
