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.
