I really liked playing! This game is pretty stress-free, all the while giving you many opportunities to think up strategies to keep your little guys alive. If you want a card game where you can easily understand how to play, progress at your own pace, and have many cards to discover, then I think Stacklands is for you.

While learning how to play new games doesn't come naturally for me, I found Stacklands' concept very easy to understand. By 'concept,' I mean the card functions, the combat system, and the UI. The cards are like ingredients for a recipe; If you combine them, you get a new card! It's a beginner-friendly game that allows you learn strategies through trial and error, while giving you all the time you need to think.

☆ Goals are suggested to the player, always giving you something to work towards without imposing a direction on how you want to progress.
☆ A simple UI that's easy to navigate. There are two tabs - One for goals and the other for recipes, each with their own collapsible subcategories.
☆ New goals and recipes are introduced to the player over the course of progression. That way, you aren't overwhelmed by the sheer amount of cards within the game.
☆ Easy to organize. The cards are color-coded by type (ex. Animals are brown, currency is yellow, etc.) and all player-controlled cards can be easily moved with a drag of your mouse.
☆ Stress-free management. The ability to pause in-game time (and move cards around while it's paused) allows you to take all the time you need to come up with strategies, or adjust your plans accordingly.

Something I wish Stacklands had was the ability to search unlocked ideas (recipes) by the materials needed to make them, not just searching ideas by name. That way, I could've searched up what a card can be used for instead of scrolling through each individual idea for a usage. Other than that, this game has been very enjoyable and addictive, with just the right amount of challenges for me. Thank you, developers!
