What Awaits You in Kardboard Kings?
Step into the shoes of Harry Hsu, inheriting his father's card shop—a legacy built on card collecting and a championship win in the legendary card game, Warlock. You're the new face behind the counter, navigating the exciting world of buying, selling, and trading cards.
Harry isn't alone in this venture. He's got Giuseppe, a fast-talking, card-savvy cockatoo as his business partner! This feathered friend possesses an uncanny ability to spot a great deal, proving to be a valuable asset.
Your seaside card shop is your bustling domain. Keep your customers happy, or unleash your inner mischief and try to squeeze a little extra profit from each sale.
The game boasts charming and sarcastic characters, referencing other card games and anime. Over 100 uniquely designed cards, complete with quirky illustrations and shiny variants, await your discovery.
Gameplay: More Than Just Buying and Selling
It starts simply: buy low, sell high, and profit. But as you progress, card conditions and set rarities fluctuate, adding layers of strategy. Factors like foil finishes, ability popularity, and more all impact a card's value.
Kardboard Kings also features a roguelite deck-building mode on Card Game Island. Here, you'll face off against skilled duelists, host tournaments, throw booster pack parties, and even hold clearance sales to manage your inventory.
If you're a Crunchyroll member, download Kardboard Kings now from the Google Play Store.
