2048 Decks

About this game

Drag, and the whole board shifts one cell — not as far as it can go. Two equal numbers double only when the tile in front has nowhere left to move, so every merge is one you set up. Nothing is random. The tiles come off a written deck you can count, and the next three are already on screen, so a jam two moves away is one you can see coming. Four decks: plain numbers, stones that block until you crack them, a wild that takes any value, and a board that grows with your biggest tile.

How to play

1. 1Stack the numbers up. Do not fill the board.
2. 2Mouse and touch play the same: drag the board. Arrow keys and WASD work too. Z undoes. Escape or P pauses.

Tips and strategy

• The board shifts exactly one cell per drag, so you are placing tiles rather than sliding them as far as they will go. Plan two or three moves ahead or the shift you need will not exist.
• Keep your biggest tile in a corner and feed the rest of the deck towards it. A merge only happens when the tile in front has nowhere left to move, so the wall is what completes the number.
• The next three tiles are on screen and the deck is written, so count them. Seeing a jam two moves ahead is the advantage this game gives you over the original.
• On the stone deck, crack the blockers early. A stone left in the wrong lane wastes every merge you would otherwise make along it.

Frequently asked questions

How is 2048 Decks different from the original?

The board shifts one cell per drag rather than as far as it can, and the tiles come off a written deck with the next three shown, so nothing in the order is random.

Can I use the keyboard in 2048 Decks?

Yes. Arrow keys and WASD both move the board, Z undoes a move, and Escape or P pauses, alongside dragging with a mouse or a touch screen.

What are the four decks in 2048 Decks?

Plain numbers, stones that block until you crack them, a wild tile that takes any value, and a board that grows along with your biggest tile. Each one changes how you plan merges.
