Crunchyroll Unveils "Kardboard Kings," Immersive Card Shop Simulator

Crunchyroll's Android app now features Kardboard Kings, a captivating single-player card shop management game. Originally launched on PC in February 2022, this title from Henry's House, Oscar Brittain, and Rob Gross (published by Akupara Games) has made its way to consoles and now mobile devices via Crunchyroll. Best of all, it's free for Crunchyroll subscribers!

The Kardboard Kings Experience:

Step into the shoes of Harry Hsu, inheriting his card-collecting father's seaside shop and the legacy of the legendary card game, Warlock. His unlikely business partner? Giuseppe, a quick-witted cockatoo with an uncanny ability to spot a great deal.

Maintaining customer satisfaction is key, but a little playful deception might boost your profits! The game boasts charming characters, witty dialogue, and references to other card games and anime. Over 100 uniquely designed cards, complete with quirky illustrations and shiny variants, await discovery.

Gameplay Mechanics:

The core gameplay revolves around the classic "buy low, sell high" principle. However, as you progress, card conditions and set rarities fluctuate, adding layers of complexity. Factors like foil finishes and card popularity significantly impact value.

Kardboard Kings also includes a roguelite deckbuilding mode on Card Game Island. Here, you'll face challenging duelists, organize tournaments, host booster pack parties, and manage clearance sales to keep your inventory fresh.

Download Kardboard Kings now from the Google Play Store if you're a Crunchyroll member. Don't miss our other article on the linguistic puzzles in LOK Digital!
