Element Stack

Merge and Conquer Card Game

Expected Dec 9, 2026 · Free · In‑App Purchases

Play a card game of five elements. Stack, merge and conquer your way to a high score, on your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Completely Free. No ads. Totally offline. Element Stack is a quick, clever card game where five elements battle it out across four columns of cards. Play a card, beat the one underneath, and watch your score climb. EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO PUT DOWN Every turn you hold two cards. Drop one on a column. Match three of the same element in a row and they merge for bonus points. Play an element that beats the card on top and it conquers the whole run: Water beats Fire, Fire beats Wind, Wind beats Earth, Earth beats Lightning, and Lightning beats Water. Void cards drop in to block your columns, so don't let them take over. A short, friendly tutorial gets you playing in a minute. BUILD YOUR FLOW Chain plays together to raise your Flow multiplier up to ×5. Awaken the five Elemental Spirits, then light up every element to unlock Harmony and double all your points. Spare Discards are worth bonus points when a run ends, so spend them wisely. PLAY YOUR WAY • Classic: one endless run, chasing your best score • Daily Challenge: a fresh board every day, the same for everyone, with medals, streaks and a history of your results • Challenges: 64 hand-built puzzle levels, from Novice up to the Void, plus a Random Challenge that never runs out • Tricky mode: an optional tougher rule for players who want more of a puzzle • Pause any time and pick up exactly where you left off PLAYFUL TO THE TOUCH Cards lift and lean as you drag them, land with a bounce, and each element has its own effect and feel: Fire crackles, Water ripples, Wind sweeps, Earth thuds and Lightning strikes. The sounds climb as your streak builds, and subtle haptics and screen shakes make every big move feel good. All of it calms down if you turn on Reduce Motion. EARN, COLLECT, CUSTOMISE Earn Spirit Coins as you play and spend them on card faces, card backs, borders and board themes. Unlock achievements as you go, in the game and in Game Center, and check your numbers on the Stats page. Climb the Game Center leaderboard and share your score with friends. Want to go further?
