Win a tactical card duel where every move is visible and every column matters. Five Stack is a skill-based card-placement battle about planning, timing, and outsmarting your opponent. Instead of relying only on lucky draws, you read the board, choose where to place each card, and fight to win more columns than your rival. Each match challenges you to manage five columns at once. Watch your opponent's board, build stronger combinations, and use your final decisions carefully. One smart placement can change the entire match. How Five Stack works Place cards one at a time across a five-by-five board. Build a stronger poker hand in each column than your opponent. Read visible boards and counter their strategy. Use timing and placement to control the match. Win more columns to take the match. Sharpen your reading in Showdown, or challenge real players. Five Stack is built for players who enjoy strategy, card battles, tactical puzzles, and competitive games where better decisions matter. Plan every column. Read every move. Win the stack. New this version: the Daily Challenge. Every player gets the same card pack and one attempt a day, with a live leaderboard to climb. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | 150 Credits | $0.99 | one-time | | 1000 Credits | $4.99 | one-time | | 300 Credits | $1.99 | one-time | | 5000 Credits | $9.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-29 The Daily Challenge is here.
