Crunchyroll Launches Kardboard Kings: A Unique Card Shop and Collector Simulator

Crunchyroll has recently expanded its Android vault by adding Kardboard Kings, a captivating single-player management game where you step into the shoes of a card shop owner. Originally launched for PC in February 2022, this game has now made its way to mobile devices, thanks to Crunchyroll. If you're a Crunchyroll member, you can enjoy Kardboard Kings for free on your Android device.

What's the Deal in Kardboard Kings?

In Kardboard Kings, you embody Harry Hsu, who inherits a card shop from his father, a renowned card collector and former champion of the legendary card game Warlock. As the new shopkeeper, Harry embarks on a thrilling journey of buying, selling, and trading cards.

Harry isn't alone in his venture; he's aided by Giuseppe, a clever cockatoo with an uncanny talent for negotiating deals. Together, they manage the shop situated in a picturesque seaside location, striving to satisfy every customer or, if the mood strikes, even indulging in a bit of mischief by overcharging.

The game is brimming with charm, featuring characters full of wit and references to other card games and anime. The cards themselves are a highlight, boasting over 100 unique designs with quirky illustrations, including shiny variants.

What's the Gameplay Like?

The gameplay begins with the basics: buying cards at a low price and selling them high to generate profits. As you delve deeper, the dynamics of card conditions, set rarities, and factors like foil finish and popularity come into play, affecting each card's value.

Kardboard Kings also features a roguelite deckbuilding mode on Card Game Island, where you can challenge formidable duelists. Additionally, you can organize tournaments, host booster pack parties, or hold clearance sales to manage your inventory.

As a Crunchyroll member, you can download Kardboard Kings from the Google Play Store and dive into this engaging world of card shop management.
