What is Sweets Stack?

Sweets Stack is a competitive puzzle game where 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 will start with a new candy bucket sheet. Players will be passing 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 will score you points.

After three rounds, each player adds up their total score, and the player with the highest score wins!

Story

Tonight the kids will learn that there “friends” next to them are “threats” and “obstacles” that they need to pass by. Jack is waiting for the moments when a small demon is born within the hearts of these innocent looking children.
