Stacklands 2000 for Windows

Expand your modern cardboard settlement in this DLC

Stacklands 2000 is an expansion pack for the popular card-based simulation game, Stacklands. It introduces an industrial twist to the familiar mechanics seen in title alternatives like Cult of the Lamb or Loop Hero. You can build advanced infrastructure, power modern cities, and lead your population into a technologically complex new era.

In Stacklands 2000, you must carefully navigate the chaotic pressures of modern societal progress while striving to keep your citizens prosperous, healthy, and happy throughout. Transitioning from a humble rustic life to an urban metropolis introduces fresh management mechanics to balance and over 180 new cards.

Stacklands in the modern era requires a steady food surplus on the mainland before the new content becomes accessible. Once unlocked, you gain access to over 180 new cards, 50 fresh quests, and 8 unique card packs. Players must build factories, construct roads, manage complex sewage networks, and generate electricity using wind turbines, treadmills, or power plants to keep their bustling city powered and efficient.

Navigate disasters and urban well-being

Maintaining your city's well-being is essential to prevent society from falling apart completely. You must build landmarks like zoos, cinemas, and statues to boost happiness, all while managing dangerous pollution and sewage leaks. Special weather packs deliver helpful rain or sunshine, but they also trigger unpredictable natural disasters, UFO crashes, and sudden earthquakes that test your city’s infrastructure and overall resilience.

The expansion adds roughly 3 to 5 hours of playtime and runs smoothly on standard systems that meet the base game's lightweight PC requirements. Managing vast boards becomes far easier thanks to new organization cards and automated transport networks. However, because this is strictly a downloadable content pack, players cannot run it as a standalone title without purchasing the base game first.

A delightful urban evolution

Charming and highly engaging, Stacklands 2000 delivers an enjoyable layer of strategic depth and chaotic modern events that challenge even veteran players of the base game. It successfully revitalizes the original gameplay loop by challenging players with fresh technology trees and urban development mechanics. While it requires the main game to run, this expansion provides plenty of charm and engaging progression for fans eager to modernize their cardboard settlements.
