2048: goal and players
Play 2048 online on JAWNA at jawna.app. Check the goal and supported player counts before inviting your group. Read the rules even if you know the game: familiar names can have different variants, and your usual house rules may differ from the selected version.
Supported table sizes: 2, 3 or 4 players. Choose a player count in the game settings. In partner variants, check seats and teams first. In individual formats, each player competes for their own result. The in-game How to play screen provides details. Agree on the variant before your first round together.
How to play: rules
- Everyone races at the same time, each on their own 4×4 board. You see the others’ score and best tile, not their boards.
- Swipe (or press an arrow key) to slide every tile as far as it goes. Two equal tiles that meet merge into one, and its value is added to your score.
- After each slide a new 2 or 4 appears. Everyone gets the same new tiles in the same order, so the luck is equal.
- A slide that moves nothing doesn’t count. There’s no undo.
- The race ends when the time runs out or nobody can move. Highest score wins; on equal scores the bigger tile wins.
- Tip: keep your biggest tile in a corner and build the row next to it.

History & origins
Gabriele Cirulli released 2048 in March 2014 as a browser puzzle, following earlier sliding-and-merging games including 1024 and Threes.
Its simple grid and doubling tiles made it easy to share, and many adaptations quickly appeared.
Jawna uses the merge-puzzle tradition as a shared competition. The historical credit belongs to the earlier games and their creators, while the race format is this version’s adaptation.
