Setting up big chains in Stack & Sow

Stack & Sow is cosy on the surface but there's a scoring game underneath if you want it. The whole thing revolves around chains — placing a tile that triggers a harvest, which frees space that triggers another, and so on. One good placement can cascade into a huge turn.

The key habit is to stop playing reactively. Instead of clearing whatever's full, hold a tile back and set up a position where two or three fields resolve at once. Watching a chain ripple across the board is genuinely satisfying.

Keep an eye on the tile preview. You always know what's coming next, and good players plan around that instead of just placing what feels convenient. Leaving a deliberate gap for an incoming tile is often better than filling everything.

The daily challenges are where I actually improved, because they force a specific goal instead of letting me play safe. It's a low-stress game, but there's more thinking here than the gentle presentation lets on.
