"Stacklands" is a unique and innovative village-building simulation game developed by Sokpop Collective, where the core gameplay revolves around stacking cards to explore, expand, and manage a growing settlement.
Gameplay Overview
In Stacklands, players start with a small deck of basic resource cards—such as Villagers, Trees, Rocks, and Berries—and must strategically combine them to create new items, structures, and tools. For example:
Stacking a Villager + Berry Bush produces Food.
Combining Villager + Tree yields Wood.
Placing Wood + Stone can craft a House to increase population.
The game follows a survival and automation loop, where players must:
Gather resources (food, wood, stone, etc.) to sustain villagers.
Fight enemies (like wolves, goblins, and skeletons) that attack the village.
Discover new cards through exploration and experimentation.
Expand the village by unlocking advanced buildings (farms, mines, workshops).
Key Features
Card-Based Mechanics – Every object, resource, and creature is represented as a stackable card, making for intuitive yet deep gameplay.
Automation & Efficiency – As the village grows, players can optimize workflows (e.g., assigning villagers to specific tasks).
Progression & Unlocks – New card types and blueprints are discovered over time, allowing for more complex strategies.
Roguelike Elements – Some game modes introduce permadeath, adding replayability and challenge.
Cozy Yet Challenging – The simple art style and card interactions make it accessible, but resource management can be tough!
