The game has been played in Shanghai since the 1960s, using ordinary playing cards. Robert Sun commercialised the game and copyrighted it in 1988, introducing dedicated game cards bearing four numbers each, and sold it through his company, Suntex International Inc. There are nine official editions of Suntex’s 24® Game. A tournament-style competition, referred to as the 24 Challenge®, is based on the 24 game.

The original version of 24 is played with an ordinary deck of playing cards with all the face cards removed. The aces are taken to have the value 1 and the basic game proceeds by having 4 cards thrown and the first player that can achieve the number 24 exactly using only addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and parentheses wins the hand. Some groups of players allow exponentiation, or even further operations such as roots or logarithms.
