Two Player Cards

Stockpile

Play Stockpile online, two players

Stockpile is the two-player stacking game: empty your personal stock of 20 by building shared centre piles from 1 to 12. Wilds play as whatever the pile needs. Same family of play as Skip-Bo, without the brand.

Free, no ads, no download. Two seats: a friend on another device, or the computer.

House rules at this table

Deal

A 162-card pack: twelve of each rank 1 to 12, plus 18 wilds. Each player gets a facedown stock of 20; the top card is turned up. Four centre piles start empty. Each player has four personal discard piles. Whoever shows the higher stock card goes first (wilds beat 12).

On your turn

Draw until you have five cards. Play as many as you like onto the centre piles from the face-up top of your stock, your hand, or the top of any of your four discard piles. A centre pile needs 1 to start, then 2 through 12. When a pile hits 12 it is cleared.

The end

Discard one card from your hand to end the turn. First player to play the last card of their stock wins.

Questions

How big is the stock?

Twenty facedown cards each. The top is turned up. Emptying that stock wins, not emptying your hand.

What do wilds do?

A wild is whatever that centre pile needs next, including a 1 to start a pile.

When do I discard?

End your turn by discarding one card from your hand onto one of your four discard piles. Only the top of each pile can be played later.

What if I empty my hand by playing?

You draw five more and keep going. Discarding ends the turn even if you still had plays.
