Token Stacks
A token stack is an ordered, visible pile, just like a real stack of poker chips or a tower of counters. You can see the top, you draw from the top, and the order is preserved. (For a hidden, random draw, you want a Bag instead.)
Building a Stack
Drop one token directly onto another and they combine into a stack. Keep dropping tokens on the pile to grow it. The stack shows how many pieces it holds.
Tip
You can also pre-build a stack from the Token Stacks section of the sidebar — define it once with the Deck & Stack Builder and spawn the whole stack (even one mixing different tokens) in a click.
Important
Tokens only stack with tokens of the same shape. Circles stack with circles, squares with squares, and so on. A circle and a square won't combine.
Working With a Stack
- Draw the top with a double-click (or right-click the stack and choose Draw). The top token comes off the pile.
- Reverse the order with
F, which flips the whole stack end-over-end so you draw from the other side. - Shuffle with
Rto randomize the order. - Draw several to your hand by pressing a number,
1through9pulls that many tokens straight into your private hand.
Searching, Reordering & Splitting
Right-click a stack and choose Search Stack to see every token in it as a grid, with the top of the stack first. Filter by name, tick tokens and send them To Table or To Hand, or drag a token to a new position to change the order. On a touchscreen, drag the grip in the token's top-right corner so a swipe elsewhere still scrolls. Reordering needs the filter box empty, since a filtered grid can't say where a token sits relative to the ones it's hiding.
To cut a stack in two, right-click it and choose Stack ▸ Split…, type how many tokens, and pick Top or Bottom. They move into a new stack beside the original, keeping their order, and at least one token always stays behind.
Drawing While Dragging
While you're already holding a card or token, right-click a stack to scoop its top token into the group you're dragging. Drop the whole group onto a compatible pile to merge them at once. It's a fast way to gather pieces during setup. See Moving & Arranging Objects.
Tip
Want to hand a stack of starting tokens to every player at once? Right-click the stack and choose Deal, just like a deck. See Your Hand & Dealing.
