STACK READYYour TurnPlay a card or draw one.

How the stack works

Get rid of your eight-card hand first. Colors never set the sequence, but a No Play card can temporarily ban one.

On your turn

Play the next number in sequence, 1 through 8, wrapping back to 1. Or play one special. You can always draw one instead, even with a playable card, then play any one valid card or end your turn.

Wilds

A ? can be declared as any number from 0 through 8. It is never a special. The sequence continues from the declared number.

Special cards

  • Draw cards make the next player draw the shown amount immediately, then take their turn normally. +1 is in the base set; +2, +4, and +8 live in Expansion Vol 1.
  • Skip skips the following player.
  • Swap trades hands with the following player immediately. Play it last and that player receives your empty hand and wins.
  • No Play bans its shown color. The ban lifts when its owner starts their next turn.
  • Shuffle shuffles the stack and reveals a new sequence number.
  • Rotate reverses play direction.

Expansion Vol 1

Rip Vol 1 packs in Points to add these eight cards to your inventory, then draft the playable ones into custom decks.

  • Draw 2, Draw 4, Draw 8 make the next player draw the shown amount immediately, then take their turn normally.
  • Extra Turn gives you another turn right away, then play continues normally after it.
  • Return to Sender, Shield, Stack Tax, and Wild Swap are concept mockups for now — placeholders you can rip and collect while the real cards get finalized.

PLAYTEST
What card can I play next?

Play the next number in sequence. If the stack shows 4, play a 5. After 8, the sequence wraps back to 1. Colors do not affect the sequence.

Can I draw even if I have a playable card?

Yes. You may always draw one card instead of playing. After drawing, you may play one card or end your turn.

Do special cards change the number?

No. Specials resolve their effect, but the number on the stack stays the same. The next player still needs the next number in sequence.

How do I earn and spend Stacking Points?

Wins award Stacking Points. Spend them in the Points Store on Vol 1 packs and premium styles. During beta, balances last only for the open session.

What happens when I rip a Vol 1 pack?

You reveal five random expansion cards. Duplicates are possible, and every pull is added to your collection. Playable cards can be drafted into a custom deck.

Why are some Vol 1 cards marked Concept?

Those are early expansion ideas you can collect and preview. They are not playable yet while their final rules and art are being tested.

How do I play online with friends?

Open Online rooms, create a room, then share the 4-character code or invite an online friend from the Friends section.

Where can I report a bug or suggest a card?

Open the Feedback tab here in Settings. Choose a category, describe what happened, and open the prepared email.
