Stacklands

Building a flourishing society by simply stacking pieces of paper is surprisingly deep and rewarding. You manage a tiny village where every resource, structure, and inhabitant is represented by a specific card that you must position with care.

This strategy game tasks you with constant resource management, as your villagers need regular meals to stay productive. If you fail to organize your food supply, your population will quickly dwindle during the harsh cycles.
