| Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 241 Posts: 6108 | As long as I was this close, I had to get to 100,000 points.  I could keep going but it would be mundane for a long time, and I don't think I'll ever get to the 16,384 tile. I truly have no good excuse to keep playing this thing. However, somehow, I can't close that browser window. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

| boymimbo Member since: Mar 25, 2013 Threads: 5 Posts: 732 | My daughter challenged me to this game about 3 months ago on my Iphone. I have no problem getting to 2048, but run out of interest. Glad that there are several people more OCD than me. I work up, not down. |

My daughter introduced me to this game as well. She got to the 4,096 tile so naturally I had to top that. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

That a Dad!!! Nothing like killing your kid's self-esteem by proving you're better. ;) My daughter's high score is higher than mine, and we hit them on the same day. We were working on high scores independently without knowing each other was playing, about 2 months after she told me about the game. |

That is what my dad with me. He never let me win at chess. However, it gave me an objective to strive for. I played against the Atari 2600 chess game every day until I was able to play at his level and I eventually beat him. That day he gave me his chess set and said that he would never play again, and he didn't. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

| boymimbo Member since: Mar 25, 2013 Threads: 5 Posts: 732 | Yeah, my Dad killed my self-esteem pretty much by ignoring me and questioning every move I ever did. But that's a story for my therapist. At least you showed interest in your daughter's interest, and that's saying something!!! ;) |

I'm sorry to hear that. There is a fine line somewhere between challenging your kids to never being satisfied. My dad was tough to please too, but when my brother completely rebelled, it took a lot of pressure off me. By the way, I never told my daughter I outdid her. I'm not saying I won't, but haven't seen the reason to so far. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |
