having a -1 for wrong blocks and +1 for right blocks should (in average) result
in a value of zero for people who don't sort. So, there is no color bonus for
blocks AT HOME, unless they are sorted.

The scoring does put emphasis on stacking. But, if you just want to sort them,
and push them to your home square (unstacked) you get more points for sorting
better. (that's a good entry level challenge)
Also, is 30 blocks enough? Is that 15 black & 15 white?
