About Merge

Merge is the mechanic in its plainest form: two identical items combine into the next one up, and the goal is to keep climbing that chain without running out of space.

Board space is the real resource. Every merge frees a square, and every item you place without merging costs one — which is the entire tension of the genre.

How to play Merge

Merge
Drag one item onto an identical one
  1. Drag matching items together to merge them.
  2. Each merge creates a higher-tier item.
  3. Keep board space free.
  4. Climb the chain as far as you can.

Merge tips

  • Always keep at least one free square; a full board can't merge.
  • Merge low-tier items immediately rather than letting them accumulate.
  • Keep high-tier items together in one corner.
  • Plan where a merge's result will sit before you make it.

Merge low-tier items as soon as they appear rather than letting them accumulate, and always keep one square free.
