STACK™
AT THE TABLE

How to play STACK

Simple rules. Tactical choices. A table that can change in a single play.

01 / START

How do I start?

Gather 2–8 players, shuffle the 142-card deck and deal seven cards to each player.

02 / PLAY

What can I play?

Play a Number Card that matches the Active Color or the number of the Active Card, or use a valid Special Card. You can also draw one card and play it if it is valid.

03 / BUILD

How do I STACK?

Say “STACK” before starting a sequence. A normal STACK uses at least two Number Cards of the same color: start with the number of the Active Card, then continue with consecutive numbers in ascending or descending order.

04 / DISRUPT

What do Specials do?

Special Cards can change the direction of play, skip a player, make opponents draw cards and create other interactions. Check the official rules for each card’s effect.

05 / WIN

How do I win?

Say “STACK” before playing a card that leaves exactly one card in your hand. Win by playing all your cards legally. A valid Special Card can be your last card: the game ends immediately without applying its effect.
