$7.99Stacklands A Village Built From Cards
Stacklands builds its whole village out of cards. You drag a villager onto a berry bush to make food, stack wood and stone to raise buildings, and buy card packs to grow your options. For deckbuilder fans, the hook is different here: progress comes from card combinations and board management, not turn-based battles.

Stacking cards to grow a village
Everything here is a card, and stacking is how you use it. A villager on a berry bush makes berries to eat. Wood plus stone plus a villager makes a house, once you find the idea that tells you how. You sell spare cards for coins, then spend coins on packs focused on cooking, farming, or building. At the end of every moon you must feed each villager, so food stays the constant pressure while you expand. It scratches the deckbuilder itch for finding combinations, just on a messy table instead of in a fight.
Automatic fights and slow pressure
Combat happens when a villager bumps into a creature, and then it resolves on its own. You prepare rather than command: hand villagers weapons, or stack numbers by teaming them up against goblins, rats, bears, and worse. Quests and ideas guide what to try next, with over 200 cards, 60 ideas, and 50 quests to work through. The look is cute, hand-drawn, and colorful, which makes the survival math go down easier when the board fills up and the next moon is already counting down.
Good to know?
How is this different from other deckbuilders?
There is no deck, hand, or turn-based duel. Your collection is the village itself, spread across the table. Progress comes from discovering recipes, buying the right packs, and keeping production running through each moon. If you come for drafting and synergies, expect recipe hunting and upkeep instead.
What do you actually do minute to minute?
You drag cards onto each other, wait for timers to finish, collect the results, and reorganize the board. Sell extras, buy packs, open them, place the new cards where they belong, and check food before the moon ends. It is busy work, but the kind where one more pack turns into another hour.
How do fights work?
They start on contact and run without input. A villager who meets a creature just starts fighting it. Your job is done beforehand: weapons equipped, villagers placed nearby, weak fighters kept away from trouble. Bosses reward the dogpile approach, so growing population and gear matters more than tactics mid-fight.
