Crunchyroll Releases Kardboard Kings, a Card Shop and Collector 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 members!

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 shrewd cockatoo with an uncanny ability to spot a bargain.

Managing the shop involves satisfying customers (or, if you're feeling bold, subtly overcharging them!). 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 Mechanics:

The core gameplay revolves around the classic "buy low, sell high" principle. However, as you progress, card conditions and set rarities fluctuate, influencing value alongside factors like foil finishes and card popularity.

Kardboard Kings also includes a roguelite deck-building mode on Card Game Island, where you'll face tough opponents, organize tournaments, host booster pack parties, and manage inventory through clearance sales.
