## Key points

- Stack Order’s demo focuses on building card stacks for powerful attacks.
- Two bird enemies proved harder than the knight and poison dealing queen.
- The birds steal cards to strengthen themselves and heal 11 damage every third turn.

## Summary

Stack Order is a hand-drawn deck-building game whose demo centres on card-stacking duels, where players build combinations before unleashing them. A preview of the game found its toughest fight came against two bird opponents, showing how enemy abilities can make the tactical system challenging and victories rewarding.

Cards can gain damage bonuses from their position in a stack, while enemies have distinct tactics: a knight alternates attacks and blocks, and a queen inflicts poison. The two birds attack together, grow stronger by stealing cards from stacks, and can heal 11 damage every third turn, so players must balance building combos with leaving a card they can take.
