Unlike the Rubik's cube, I think you can get good enough at 2048 to usually get the 2048-tile based purely on intuition, though, without consciously memorizing anything. I've never looked up a strategy guide to the game and just playing purely by instinct (using heuristics I've randomly discovered myself), I can usually get there. I'm curious what you mean by "the trick"!
