Who it's for

Fans of light number-manipulation puzzles like 6 Nimmt or Take It Easy who want something quick with real spatial thinking.

Not for you if…

You want deep strategic depth β€” this is a tight, minimalist number puzzle rather than a rich decision-space game.

🦊

Vibe's take

Quick and puzzly β€” every slide reshuffles your grid's geometry, and the tension comes from racing to line up matches before the board fills with points against you.

About this game

Slide is a numbers game about digging yourself out of a hole, one card at a time. Sixteen face-down cards form your grid; each turn you claim a revealed card and slide it in to close the gap, hoping matching numbers end up next to each other so they cancel out. Lower is better here β€” the lightest total when the grid fills up wins the round.
