RCWeb Stack Above

Stack Above is a shared-screen reset-loop party card game for RCWeb. One browser tab becomes a bright shared playfield with the room code, turn prompts, draw pile, play stack, scoreboard, and animated round celebrations. Each player joins from a phone and keeps a private hand there, so the big screen can stay simple and exciting for kids.

It is designed for quick family play: open the display on a TV, projector, or laptop, let players scan the QR code, and begin as soon as at least two phones have joined.

Features

• A private hand for each of two to eight players.
• Match or step up a looping number ladder.
• Automatic new rounds and running penalty scores.

The Game

Stack Above keeps the same RCWeb pattern as Stack Snap, but shifts to a simpler loop-based ruleset. On your turn you either:

• play a card that matches the top card
• play the next higher card in the ladder
• draw one card
• sit out for the rest of the round if you are stuck

The ladder loops in a circle:

• 1 can go on 1 or Reset
• 2 can go on 1 or 2
• 3 can go on 2 or 3
• 4 can go on 3 or 4
• 5 can go on 4 or 5
• 6 can go on 5 or 6
• Reset can go on 6 or Reset

Stack Above supports 2 to 8 players. Each round starts with 6 cards per player, and scores keep running from round to round with no fixed limit.

How To Play

Open /stack-above/ on the shared screen. Players scan the QR code to open /stack-above-c/ on their phones in the same room. When at least two players have joined, any phone can start.

Each stack contains the bright number cards 1 through 6 plus the special Reset card. Players try to get rid of their hands by following the stack upward. If a turn gets tricky, drawing a card is always allowed, and players can also choose to sit out for the rest of the round instead of taking more cards.

The round ends when:

• one player empties their hand
• everyone else has sat out, leaving one player still active

When a round ends, every other active player keeps the cards left in their own hand as penalty points:

• number cards are worth their face value
• each reset card is worth 10 points

After a round ends, Stack Above celebrates the winner and automatically deals the next round after a short countdown. Scores stay on the board until someone at the table decides to stop or restart.

Late arrivals can still join mid-round and will enter on the next deal.
