Stacks: Space!

About

You manage a space base using a deck of cards. Each card represents a resource, tool, or structure you can deploy. Collect new cards through booster packs, combine them to unlock recipes, and build defenses or manufacturing stations. Drones and droids handle exploration and combat while you strategize. Random events and shifting threats keep each playthrough different. The game emphasizes resource management and adaptation as you expand your base across multiple planets. The mix of card collection and base-building stands out. Players on Steam rate it 82% positive with 65% playing at least 20 hours. Its single-player focus and low combat intensity make it approachable for casual strategists. The card-stacking mechanic adds depth to construction without feeling cluttered. Available on Windows, Linux, and Mac since February 2023.
