2020 Connect

My first time dipping into 2020 Connect felt like a blast from the past on a new millennium brainwave. Putting those blocks together was sensually satisfying, especially once I made it past four and snagged a few shiny coins. I’ll be honest, it doesn’t buck the merge-game trend too much, but it marries the best parts of Merged and 2048? Genius. Boosters were a fine crutch on an off day, though I wish I didn’t have to spend my coins so stingily like a Grinch. Have a friend who loves to plan? They may just dig the no-time-pressure vibe. But warning: it’s a bit like potato chips; if you merge you are stuck. And the famous 8192 block? Suffice to say, not as easy as it sounds. For fans of these brain teasers out there, try out 2020 Connect yourself, and see if you can best your own high score. Guess: it’s more strategy than speed, people.
