STACCS is a board game released in 2025 for 1–5 players, 15–30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Dave Chau and its main mechanics are Matching, Layering, and Hexagon Grid.
STACCS™ is a mind-bending card game of matching and stacking. Each DECC has all the same suits and numbers you’re used to (plus zeroes and wilds), but the cards are hexagonal instead of rectangular. They’re designed to resemble cubes, so each card you play builds a unique structure on the table that really looks 3D! This 2nd Edition DECC includes a couple improvements we’re excited to share with you: - A better, stronger box to withstand obsessive replay - Two new QUICC RULES cards to keep handy as you learn how to STACC —description from the designer
STACCS supports 1–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for STACCS is 15–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists STACCS for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
STACCS has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
