It is fitting that our Overlord gets the highest score.
Praise Riven.

Damn you! I downloaded an app for my phone to play it and the highest score I’ve managed to get is 512. Sad 
Ah, nice. Highest I’ve got so far was 13,084, in a similar situation as Riven.
Oh cool, I found this a couple days ago, happy to see a thread on it here 
Highest I got was around 6500. It’s actually a very mental game, but there is definitely luck involved. I’m off to create an algorithm, all hail Lua 
I do not have Artificial nor Natural Intelligence to solve this.
Still a very addictive and fun game.
Alright, here’s my result:
If the random component would be deterministic (ok, only needs a seeded Random), you could implement an AI that at least
can brute force a few rounds ahead, to see a favorable current move. (ending up with the highest card collection, not beeing locked, and having high cards adjacent)
Then repeat it for every move.
Even if the random event cannot be foreseen, there are not a lot of possibilities for something happening randomly.
On every empty Tile either a ‘2’ or a ‘4’ (If I saw that right) can spawn. That means in the beginning there are only 32 possibilities for something happening. That means you could simply brute force every case there, too.
Also, the more Tiles that are obstructed, the less possibilities there are, making it easier for the brute force algorithm in late game 
Very cool and impressive thread on SO about this I just found: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22342854/what-is-the-optimal-algorithm-for-the-game-2048
Wohooo! Can I join the club now? ;D
The trick is to keep larger numbers in the bottom right or bottom left corner. Ultimately you should limit movement to left, right, and down. This is how I managed to get a decent score of 17,000 points.
Well. Time progressed. Your strategy is pretty much the same as ours. The 2048 has found that out a long time ago already, but it’s fun to see people find out the strategy themselves
I myself have now a highscore of 55k+, but I know someone of our school has a highscore of 550k+, which is pretty much insane.
My score is around 75k. I was about to make 8192 tile. And then I messed -_-
i wanna join this Post
-took long but i guess it isn’t the same with undo button :emo:
