Need something to do in the airport. Maybe I’ll do a little 13.
It’s just toooo addicitve
I play this at work a lot…!
It’s also the ideal game to play while listening to Big Finish.
Made a thread for the game: Thirteen Game Thread
Was about to do this!
Best to pick a corner, then condense and build to that corner, not moving the biggest one out of that corner unless you have no other options. I was typing this as sircarolyn said the same thing, but because of sunk cost, I’ll post anyway.

Can’t get past 8.
I shouldn’t be doing this now!
You almost need perfect RNG to get all the way to 13.
RNG?
I think I managed to get Nine once but I haven’t gotten beyond that. Might start playing it while listening to audios again, currently I’m mostly doing sudokus
RNG = “Random Number Generators” or luck
Random Number Generation. Basically there’s a degree you have to get lucky for where your Hartnells and Troughtons spawn.
It is very easy to get to around 10 and 11 using the technique others have set out above (largest one in the corner, second largest next to them etc, in a line going back and forth.) If you keep this pattern you can theoretically win. But the 1s and 2s appear in random places and can mess up the pattern, for example blocking a full row so you can’t swipe left or right, so you have to swipe down and a 1/2 appears above your lovely structure, messing it all up. The longer you play the more likely a 1/2 messing it up is. So I play with the same strategy each time, hoping that I’ll get lucky and it won’t appear in the wrong place before I get 13. Usually of course it happens someplace between 10 and 12 level. But you can’t really control when it happens, and once you lose the structure there is zero chance of reaching 13
Even trying to follow the above advice I can’t beat my first score and get past 8
