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.
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.
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.
