How to Play
Master the Power Cards
Every move counts. Get to know each special card and how to use it — or counter it — like a pro. From stealing hands to crashing combos, here's the breakdown behind the chaos.
Effect: Use this card to steal 1 to 3 random cards from another player’s hand. It’s unpredictable — you might get useless cards… or game-changing ones.
Pros:
- Use it when you’re low on options to get fresh cards.
- Steal from a player who just stacked a combo — they’re likely holding strong cards.
- Time it right after they draw a card from a Stack Crash or Freeze.
Drawbacks:
- Might get low-value cards.
- Can accidentally help your opponent (if they wanted to get rid of those).
- Cannot be used on a player with 3 or fewer cards in hand — they’re untouchable by this effect.
Common Reactions:
- “Bro what?!”
- “You took my combo…”
- “All that and you got a 2.”
Effect: Use this card to skip the next player’s turn. Brutal when timed right — especially if someone is about to stack a combo.
Pros:
- Use it right before your strongest opponent’s turn.
- Cancel someone’s bonus play (after a 3+ card stack).
- In 2-player mode, you get to play again instantly.
Drawbacks:
- Doesn’t remove cards from your hand.
- Won’t slow down players who are already stuck.
Common Reactions:
- “Ayo, not again!”
- “You really froze me before my combo?”
- “That’s dirty… but smart.”
Effect: Allows you to change the current stack color to the one of your choice. Great for extending your combo or switching up the game’s flow when you’re stuck.
Pros:
- Can help you continue stacking if you have more cards in that color.
- Useful for breaking an opponent’s momentum.
- Works well with combo plays.
Drawbacks:
- If you choose a color others also have, you might help them.
- Doesn’t affect stack direction — only the color changes.
Common Reactions:
- “You saved me by picking that color!”
- “Why yellow??”
- “Nah that’s a weird switch…”
Effect: Allows you to change the current stack color to the one of your choice. Great for extending your combo or switching up the game’s flow when you’re stuck.
Pros:
- Can help you continue stacking if you have more cards in that color.
- Useful for breaking an opponent’s momentum.
- Works well with combo plays.
Drawbacks:
- If you choose a color others also have, you might help them.
- Doesn’t affect stack direction — only the color changes.
Common Reactions:
- “You saved me by picking that color!”
- “Why yellow??”
- “Nah that’s a weird switch…”
Effect: Instantly reverses the stacking direction.
If the stack was going up (e.g. 4 → 5 → 6), it now goes down (e.g. 6 → 5 → 4), and vice versa.
Pros:
- Can break a long streak if opponents are dominating in one direction.
- Helps you get rid of high or low cards stuck in your hand.
- Strategic tool to control the flow of the game.
Drawbacks:
- Might backfire if you reverse the direction into something that helps the next player.
- Can slow down your momentum if you were the one stacking well.
- Doesn’t block or skip any player — it’s not a power move like Stack Freeze or Stack Crash.
Effect: Play 3 or more cards in a continuous number chain (like 5-6-7) of the same color in one turn.
Pros:
- Skip drawing — a well-executed combo gives momentum and control.
- Can force your opponent to lose their next turn.
- Satisfying and powerful when pulled off at the right moment.
Drawbacks:
- Hard to prepare unless you’ve been saving cards in secret.
- If you hesitate or mess up, you might reveal your whole plan.
- Opponents can interrupt you mid-combo with Stack Freeze or Stack Crash — but only if you hesitate or take too long between cards.
Common Reactions:
- “No way they just did that...”
- “You're actually stacked!”
- “Combo game too strong.”
