Best Strategy for 2048 Space Basics
The smartest approach is still standard 2048 strategy: keep your highest space tile in one corner, build a clean descending line beside it, and avoid random mid-board merges.
1. Protect your galaxy line
Once you reach Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or higher, avoid dragging those larger tiles into the center.
2. Keep early tiles flowing
Mercury should become Venus, Venus should become Earth, and the whole planet chain should keep rising in order along one stable edge.
