About

Card Stack

Features
Read full description

Three empty columns. Three cards in hand. You set the direction. In Card Stack: Puzzle Sort, nothing is fixed from the start. Drop your first card into a column — the second card locks in the direction: ascending or descending? Once set, only the right cards fit. Complete five cards and the column clears, your score climbs. But watch out — the moment none of your cards fit anywhere, it's STUCK. And that's where your run ends. How to Play • Drag one of your 3 cards and drop it onto a column • The first two cards set the column's ascending or descending direction • Complete 5 cards → column clears → earn points • All 3 slots empty → 3 new cards are dealt • No card fits anywhere → STUCK → game over Features • Standard 52-card deck, 4 suits • 3 independent columns, each with its own direction • Combo chain scoring • Pure drag-and-drop — no tap to place • Discard pile reshuffles when the deck runs out • No internet connection required Open it for one round. Play for hours.
