How to play 30 Moves

A sprint, not a marathon: you get exactly 30 moves to build the highest possible score. Every move must count — one wasteful slide can cost you the run. Perfect for short, focused sessions.

30 Moves strategy

Think in chains, not gambles

Thirty moves is precious. Avoid speculative merges on the far side of the board — one wasted move is 3% of your entire run. Build one clean corner chain and feed it pairs.

Do not spend moves cleaning up: on 4×4, a messy middle row is often fine if your corner chain is intact. Prioritize moves that create or move a merge toward your big tile.

Score-per-move mindset

The leaderboard ranks total score, so efficient merges beat big gambles. A move that merges two 128s scores 256 points — that is worth more than a move that sets up a future merge you may never make.
