Combat #
Both ranged and melee combat modes are supported (no combat box!). Melee units will move towards the enemy as soon as they see it. Drag your card next to an enemy card (do not stack them!), and you’ll see them punching each other. Ranged units will shoot their projectiles immediately.
- Stacked cards – the ones doing crafts – do not engage in combat, but could be attacked by an enemy card.
- Some enemies prefer to attack resource cards instead.
Modding support #
Stacks:Space is moddable! The built-in mod management interface allows near-infinite extension of a game. With just a tiny bit of JSON knowledge, it is possible to create and add new cards, recipes, scenarios, locations, and even completely new games. This game is so moddable that it already includes Stacks:Village, a fantasy village sim, as a mod – accessible via the top-right corner of the starting screen. See this youtube video for gameplay details. The comprehensive modding manual is a work in progress, please stay tuned.

If Sci-Fi is not your thing, please try the built-in “Stacks:Village” bonus game (see the “switch game” button at the top-right corner!) – a fantasy village setting is much more intuitive to new players.
