2048 where the multiplier is the threat. Merge ingots to stoke the Heat, then hold Cash Out to bank your largest ingot × Heat before the board locks up and the forge takes it all back.

  2. Three or more merges in one swipe is a chain: +1 extra Heat. A swipe with no merge cools the forge.
  3. At ×4 the vault opens — hold Cash Out to bank your largest ingot × Heat. The ingot leaves the board and Heat resets.
  4. The fuse lasts 200 swipes. Lock up with the vault closed and everything on the table burns.
