Stacking mechanics happen a lot.

  I was hoping to slide by with 2d + zordering, but by any other name, that is 3d.

  Stacking mechanics are typically where you want the engine to defy physics, though. For example picking up a stack of cards, the stack is typically treated as a single object rather than 52 individual objects that can fall apart. Playing virtual poker, you probably don't want to have to manually manipulate individual poker chips or move around wobbly stacks of chips (yes that can be fun in itself, but there will be someone who struggles to move their chips around intuitively and inevitably delay the actual game at hand). Having said that for games like virtual Jenga, you absolutely DO want to keep those wobbly blocks of wood.
