Alpacas were domesticated in the Andes of South America thousands of years ago and are still raised there for their fleece. There are two breeds. Huacaya alpacas have a dense, crimpy coat that looks like a teddy bear, while Suri alpacas grow long, silky locks that hang down. Alpacas also hum softly to each other, which is why one tile is a humming alpaca.
The 11 Alpacas tiles
The ladder follows an alpaca’s life from baby to legend. A baby alpaca is called a cria, so it is the first tile. Hay Snack and Fluffy Fleece come next, then the Humming Alpaca, since humming is one of the main ways alpacas communicate. Shearing Day is usually once a year, when the fleece is clipped for yarn. Huacaya and Suri are the two real alpaca breeds. Alpacas are herd animals that live in groups and keep an eye out for each other, so a trekker and a guardian come after them. The Mountain Peak honours their Andes home, and Alpaca Royalty is the 2048 tile.

2048Tips to win Alpacas 2048
- Keep your biggest alpaca in one corner, like a herd that always sleeps in the same spot. Build the Mountain Peak right beside it before you go for Royalty.
- Make a calm chain along one edge, such as Suri, Huacaya, Shearing Day, Humming Alpaca. Merging the small end lets the whole row grow up step by step.
- Avoid the swipe that moves your corner alpaca away from its wall. If you must use it, do it when the opposite row is full so nothing can slip underneath.
Alpacas 2048 FAQ
What is the final tile in Alpacas 2048?
