How to Play

Base2048 is a session-gated game — pay once to start, then play until your lives run out.

01

Start a Session 0.001 ETH

Click Play, connect your wallet, and pay 0.001 ETH to open a session. The fee goes entirely to the Revenue Pool — shared by all NFT holders. Your session gives you 3 lives.

Hold a Base2048 NFT? You get up to 20 free sessions per month — no ETH fee required.

02

Move the Tiles

Use arrow keys or swipe on mobile to slide all tiles. When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge. Your goal is to build a tile with the number 2048.

03

Lives & Continues

Each session starts with 3 lives. When the board fills and no moves remain, you lose a life and are revived (lowest 3 tiles removed). When all lives are gone, the game is over.

Want to keep going? Pay a continuation fee to add 3 more lives. The price doubles each time: 0.002 → 0.004 → 0.008 ETH… All fees go to the pool.

04

Save Your Score Onchain

When your game ends (or when you hit 2048), you can mint a ScoreCard NFT with your score baked in permanently. It costs only gas — no extra ETH fee. ScoreCards are soulbound and appear on the leaderboard.

You can only mint a higher score than your current best — one card per wallet, updated on improvement.

05

Undo & Strategy

The Undo button reverts your last move. Undos are granted alongside lives — each session gives you 3. Keep your highest tile in a corner, build in one direction, and leave escape routes.

06

Own an NFT — Earn Passively

Base2048 NFTs (0.006 ETH on OpenSea) give you free sessions and a permanent 1/2048 share of every session fee ever paid. The more people play, the more you earn. Claim your ETH anytime from the Claim page.
