The best games where you can stack objects on top of each other 📚 2023

Looking for a really good game where you can stack objects on top of each other 📚? Then we have just the thing for you: The list with the best stacking games ${year}.

What are stacking games?

"Stacking and balancing" games require players to physically stack and balance figures or objects on top of each other. So these games are a subcategory of skill games.

Distinction to "stacking" in war games

Stacking and balancing games differ from the term "stacking/stacking" commonly used in war games. Here, multiple pieces are bundled together in a stack.

Examples of games where you can stack objects on top of each other

Good examples of balancing games are Animal Upon Animal, Junk Art, and Bausack.
