How a game goes
- 1
Swipe: equal numbers bump together and merge into a bigger one. Every swipe adds a new tile.
- 2
Merge 64 or more and stones drop onto someone else’s board. The bigger the merge, the more stones.
- 3
Got hit? Merge fast to cancel the stones, or merge right next to one to break it. If your board fills up, you’re out.
Played 2048 before? Here’s what’s different
- It’s about lasting longest, not scoring highest: the last one standing wins.
- There’s a clock: tiles appear even if you don’t swipe, and faster the longer you wait.
- Stones don’t move. Merge right next to one to break it.
- Big merges attack and defend: merge 64 before stones land and they’re cancelled.
- Boards come in 4×4 and 5×5. Just want the original? Casual solo is classic rules, no clock.
