Crunchyroll has recently enriched its Android vault by adding Kardboard Kings, a captivating single-player management game that lets you experience the thrill of running a card shop. Initially 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 at no additional cost.

What's the Deal in Kardboard Kings?

In Kardboard Kings, you step into the shoes of Harry Hsu, who has inherited 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 an exciting journey of buying, selling, and trading cards.

Assisting Harry is his trusted friend Giuseppe, a savvy cockatoo with a remarkable talent for fast-talking and deal-making. Together, they navigate the bustling seaside shop, striving to satisfy every customer or, if the mood strikes, engaging in a bit of mischievous profiteering.

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

What's the Gameplay Like?

The gameplay in Kardboard Kings begins simply: buy low, sell high, and watch your profits grow. However, as you delve deeper, you'll encounter fluctuating card conditions and set rarities. Every detail, from foil finishes to card abilities and popularity, plays a role in determining a card's value.

Beyond the shop, Kardboard Kings offers a roguelite deckbuilding mode on Card Game Island, where you can challenge formidable duelists. You can also host tournaments, organize booster pack parties, or set up clearance sales to manage your inventory effectively.

If you're a Crunchyroll member, don't miss out on the opportunity to download Kardboard Kings from the Google Play Store and immerse yourself in this delightful card shop adventure.
