64

64 is an asymmetric card game for two players on a three-by-three grid, one building and one blocking.

The Slider is trying to reach 64. Cards of equal value that meet during a slide merge into the next value up, so 2s become 4s, 4s become 8s, and so on to two 32s meeting as 64.

The Blocker decides where the raw material lands. Each turn they draw a card without knowing whether it is a 2 or a 4 and place it in an empty space; the Slider then pushes every card on the grid in one direction, and everything that can merge does.

The Slider wins by making 64. The Blocker wins by filling the grid so that no merge is left.
