stacking
Building a tower
Stacking is arranging things in a pile, one atop another: stacking boxes, stacking firewood.
The term extends to any layered accumulation—stacking advantages, stacking the odds.
In gaming, stacking often means combining multiple bonuses or effects: The buffs don't stack.
To stack the deck is to arrange cards dishonestly, or more broadly, to rig an outcome.
