FREE! FREE! --= How to Play =-- Game starts with 19 cards from a standard poker deck delt in hexagonal shape.

New cards from the deck will replace the cards used with the exception of the center card. You can deal a new deck as long as you have enough $ to cover the cost of 'redeal'.

About

Sip & Stack

Features
Read full description

Sip & Stack is an exciting and innovative puzzle game that combines strategic thinking, management, and satisfying mechanics. Take on the challenge of managing dual grids as you race to merge boxes, match drinks, and keep the dock running smoothly. The gameplay is simple yet challenging: Upper Grid: Drinks of different colors advance on the conveyor with each action. Your goal? Prevent them from falling into the hole! Lower Grid: Merge at least three adjacent boxes of the same color to create space for drinks. Larger merges create special boxes that can accept drinks of any color, giving you a strategic advantage. Each level becomes more dynamic as conveyor speeds increase, new drink colors are introduced, and grid sizes expand. Plan your moves carefully to avoid overfilling the dock or losing drinks! Why You'll Love Sip & Stack: Strategic Gameplay: Every move counts—maximize merges, manage space, and keep drinks flowing. Dynamic Levels: With increasing challenges, the game keeps you engaged and on your toes. Satisfying Animations: Merging boxes, filling docks, and chain reactions deliver rewarding feedback. Simple to Play, Hard to Master: Easy tap controls make it accessible, while the growing complexity ensures hours of fun. Can you master the conveyor chaos and become the ultimate stacker?
