We'll try and keep this simple. When I learned the game I also didn't understand exactly
how stacks worked.

Ok, each player plays challenges on an objective, they lay each of their challenges down
in stacks. Each player can only put challenges on their own stacks, and each player is
limited to the number of challnges they can put in their stack depending on how many
players are in the game:

2 player - 3 challenges for each player
3 player - 2
4+ Player - 1

In other words, in a 3 player game, each objective could have a total of 6 challenges on
it (2 challenges per stack, 1 stack per player), for a grand total of 18 on the table at
once (3 objectives, 2 challenges per stack, 1 stack per player).

Each player runs against the other players stacks (only certain cards can force you to
face your own stack). They face the challenges one by one in each stack until the team is
dead, sent home, or defeats all the challenges. If a player defeats all the challenges,
they then face the objective. If they take the objective, any challenges left on the
stack are trashed (placed in the discard pile).

I hope that helped and didn't confuse you even more. If anything is still unclear, feel
free to ask.
