How to play Stack Rush with Gather
Stack Rush is for two to six players, or you against the computer. Only you see your hand on your phone; the build piles and everyone’s stock and discard piles are out in the open on the game table.
Choose Stack Rush
On the game table, select “Stack Rush” and, under “Who’s playing?”, pick “2–6 players” or “Vs. computer”. On an iPhone without a TV, the options are “Play the computer” and “Invite friends (2–6)”.
Join and get ready
Everyone joins via QR code or room code and taps “Ready”. Because the player count is flexible, someone then taps “Start game” on the TV or a phone – latecomers can still join until then.
Pick a card
On your turn, tap a card in your hand, the top card of your stock or the top card of one of your discard piles.
Play it on a build pile
Build piles the card fits on light up. Tap one of them. Repeat as long as you have cards that fit.
End your turn
To finish, pick a card from your hand and put it on one of your four discard piles. That ends your turn, and the TV shows who’s up next.
Play again
Once someone has emptied their stock, the TV and phones show the winner. “Play again” takes you back to the waiting room, where everyone taps “Ready” once more.
Tips
- While the others are playing, you can already look through your cards and plan your next turn.
- Without a TV, every phone also shows the other players’ stock and discard piles.
- On the TV, the build piles and draw pile sit large in the middle with all players’ stock and discard piles below; a line describes the last move.
