Stakz

A tile-matching, stack-building game in which 2-4 players race to empty their hands of pentagonal tiles. Tiles are matched by either 1 of the 5 colors or by 1 of the 5 symbols, and should a stack reach 5 colors, the stack splits in 2, increasing the odds of playable tiles on future turns. At the end of each round, once 1 player has stacked their last tile, each other player scores 1 point for each tile left in their hand. Rounds continue until one player has a score of at least 12, at which point the player with the lowest cumulative score wins.
