I'm an avid player of Threes, so when 2048 popped up here on HN I gave it a try. I beat the game on my first try, and like the Sirvo guys in a recent blog post, I'd argue that any moderately experienced Threes player would. 2048 is basically Threes minus the infinite replayability, hamstrung in a way to make a single strategy dominate wildly though not quite 100% (alternate up and right, go left if stuck, repeat) and with a $0 price tag.
