I still play Threes basically every day.

It’s easily my favourite iOS game of all time.

@imyke Very weird in the replies here how nobody appears to really improve over time, and how *wildly* different our typical score distributions are.

@jerrod @imyke it took me years to discover the one trick to high scores. Want to know it? The design of the game is based around it

@ncrow @imyke 👀

I realize there must be something I’m systematically doing to limit myself… at this point it’s baked into muscle memory.

Someone must have discovered the mathematically optimal algorithm or trained an AI by now, yes?

@jerrod simpler. Ignore the bright colors. The game design makes your brain want to care about the 1s and 2s. Focus 95% on the high value tiles, the 1s and 2s will take care of themselves
