Sweets Stack (2016)

About this game

Sweets Stack is a competitive puzzle game in which your goal is to overfill your opponent's candy buckets first while cleverly placing candies into your bucket to prevent it from overflowing. Each round you start with a new candy bucket sheet. Players will pass around candy cards, and each player must mark the shape of the candy they receive in their candy bucket sheet. If you plan well and stuff your candies efficiently, you will be able to put many candies in your bucket. Each candy you successfully put in your bucket scores you points. After three rounds, each player adds up their total score, and the player with the highest score wins!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
