Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

Pow2 checks only horizontal and vertical readings on its 4×4 board, turning each placement into a constrained search for targets between 16 and 8192. Normal mode deals six copies of every digit into a 60-card deck, while Endless mode continues with equal-probability digits until the board fills. The scoring system awards the exponent itself and multiplies combined clears, making the board’s limited rows and columns part of the central calculation.
