About the game
Satisfying Token Sort is a calm sorting game about arcade tokens. Tokens lie in little stacks on a counter, and three token machines stand above them, each showing the one token it takes on its lit sign. Drag a token into its machine and it drops in with a clink. Three tokens fill a machine: its lights flash, coins shower out, and the next machine slides into its place.
Every token has its own shape as well as its own color: a circle, a heart, a diamond, a triangle, a star and a hexagon. So you can sort by shape alone if you like.
Only the token at the front of each stack can be picked up. When a token has no machine yet, park it in one of the holding cups. Parked tokens roll into their machine by themselves the moment it arrives, and that can fill it, which brings the next machine, which pulls in more tokens. Those chain reactions are the most satisfying part, and you can plan for them: the strip under the machines shows which ones are coming next.
The first boards can't be lost, and neither can every fifth board. Later boards bring more kinds of tokens, more machines and fewer cups. If the cups fill up and no token fits, you can undo your last move or restart the board straight away. There's no timer, ever.
How to play
- On a phone or tablet, drag the front token of a stack into its machine. Tapping a stack works too: the token goes where it fits.
- On a computer, drag with the mouse or click a stack.
- A token with no machine waiting goes into a holding cup until its machine comes.
- Clear every machine to finish the board. Each board takes a minute or two.
Tips
- Look at the strip of upcoming machines before you park. A token whose machine is next is a safe park.
- Dig into the stack that hides the tokens your machines want, rather than the one that's easiest to reach.
- Keep a cup free when you can. A full set of cups is the only way to run out of moves.
- Fewer parks earn more stars. Each board shows its best stars, and Replay lets you try for three.

- Free to play in the browser, with no download.
