Water Pipes: goal and players
Play Water Pipes 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
- The well sits in the middle. Turn the tiles so the pipes carry its water to every tile on the board.
- Water fills every pipe joined to the well. The clay pots at the dead ends sprout when the water reaches them.
- Solved means every tile is joined to the well, with no pipe left open and no loop. Each puzzle has exactly one answer.
- Tips: a pipe can never point off the edge, so the border tiles are a good place to start. Dead ends next to each other must face away from each other.
- Everyone gets the same puzzle at the same moment and plays at once. The first to get the water everywhere wins.
- You see how far the others are (the share of tiles their water reaches), never their tiles. When the clock runs out (3, 6 or 10 minutes), everyone is ranked by that.

History & origins
Pipe-connection puzzles became a familiar computer genre through games such as Pipe Mania, released in 1989.
Different branches use laying new pipes, rotating existing tiles or racing a flowing liquid. These are related ideas rather than identical rules.
Jawna uses a rotation puzzle joining a well to garden beds. Its shared-board race is a local version of that wider connection-puzzle tradition.
