Crunchyroll Debuts Immersive Card Shop Simulator "Kardboard Kings"

Crunchyroll's Android app now features Kardboard Kings, a captivating single-player card shop management game. Initially 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. Crunchyroll members can download it for free.

The Kardboard Kings Experience:

Step into the shoes of Harry Hsu, inheriting his card-collecting father's shop and the legacy of the Warlock card game. His business partner? Giuseppe, a surprisingly shrewd cockatoo with a talent for deals. Located seaside, the shop presents a constant stream of customers, each offering opportunities for fair trading or, if you're feeling bold, some shrewd profiteering.

The game is brimming with charming characters, witty dialogue, and nods to other card games and anime. Over 100 uniquely illustrated cards, including shiny variants, add to the visual appeal.

Gameplay Details:

The core gameplay loop is simple: buy low, sell high. However, as you progress, card conditions and set rarities fluctuate, adding layers of strategic depth. Factors like foil finishes and card popularity significantly impact value.

Kardboard Kings also includes a roguelite deck-building mode on Card Game Island, where you'll face challenging duelists. You can also organize tournaments, host booster pack parties, and even hold clearance sales to manage inventory.
