Stacked Realms – A Card-Stacking Survival Strategy Game

Stacked Realms is a strategic card-stacking survival game where entire worlds are built one card at a time. Every resource, structure, creature, and encounter exists as a card, and how you stack them directly shapes your progression and survival.

You begin with a small foothold in a living realm. By dragging village and structure cards onto resource cards, you gather materials, unlock crafting recipes, and gradually expand your settlement. Each decision matters: the wrong stack can waste resources, trigger dangerous encounters, or leave your people unprepared for the next day.

Core Gameplay Features

Card Stacking as Strategy

Card stacking is not cosmetic — it is the core mechanic of the game.

Cards interact based on their type and context, allowing players to:

  • Gather resources by stacking villages on natural cards

  • Construct structures that enhance nearby stacks

  • Trigger events, encounters, or crafting chains through placement alone

Success comes from understanding how different cards interact and using that knowledge to build efficient, resilient systems.

 

Day Cycle and Survival Loop

Each in-game day follows a clear and rewarding rhythm:

  • Survival and feeding to keep your people alive

  • Inventory management and trading to prepare for the future

  • Encounters with creatures, events, and unexpected challenges

  • A new day phase that introduces fresh cards and opportunities

The pressure to plan ahead makes every action meaningful without overwhelming the player.

Crafting Through Discovery

Crafting in Stacked Realms emerges naturally through stacking.

Certain card combinations, when stacked correctly over time, unlock new recipes such as:

  • Buildings and infrastructure

  • Food and survival tools

  • Advanced resources and upgrades

Recipes are not handed to the player. They are discovered through experimentation and recorded as part of your growing mastery of the realm.

Encounters and Tactical Combat

Not every stack is safe.

Some combinations attract hostile creatures or trigger dangerous events. Combat is fast, tactical, and built around a rock-paper-scissors system enhanced with ranged attacks, magic effects, and clear visual feedback.

Preparation, positioning, and smart stacking often matter more than raw power.

Quests and Progression

Progression is guided by structured quests that encourage players to:

  • Explore new realms and environments

  • Survive deeper into the day cycle

  • Craft advanced structures and tools

Completing quests unlocks new cards, mechanics, and strategic options, steadily expanding the game’s depth.

Living Realms

Each realm introduces new rules, resources, and threats. Strategies that succeed in one realm may fail completely in another, forcing players to adapt, experiment, and rethink how they stack and manage their cards.

Why Stacked Realms Stands Out

  • Deep card-based strategy driven by emergent systems

  • Survival and management gameplay without micromanagement

  • Discovery-focused crafting and progression

  • Multiple realms with unique mechanics and challenges

Stacked Realms is designed for players who enjoy thoughtful strategy, experimentation, and building complex systems from simple rules.
