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

Crunchyroll has recently expanded its Android vault by adding the captivating game Kardboard Kings. Originally launched on PC in February 2022, this single-player management game lets you take on the role of a shopkeeper in an exciting card shop adventure. Developed by Henry’s House, Oscar Brittain, and Rob Gross, and published by Akupara Games, Kardboard Kings has made its way to consoles and now, thanks to Crunchyroll, it's available on mobile devices. If you're a Crunchyroll member, you can download this game for free from the Google Play Store.

What’s the Deal in Kardboard Kings?

In Kardboard Kings, you step into the shoes of Harry Hsu, who inherits a card shop from his father—a renowned card collector and champion of the legendary card game Warlock. As the new face behind the counter, Harry embarks on a thrilling journey through the world of card buying, selling, and trading.

Harry isn't alone in this venture; he's joined by Giuseppe, a fast-talking cockatoo with an uncanny ability to spot great deals. Together, they manage a charming seaside shop where Harry must keep customers satisfied or, if he's feeling mischievous, try to make a quick profit by overcharging.

The game is filled with delightful characters brimming with charm and sarcasm, often referencing other card games and anime. With over 100 unique card designs, including quirky illustrations and shiny variants, Kardboard Kings offers a rich and engaging experience.

What’s the Gameplay Like?

Kardboard Kings starts with the basic principle of buying low and selling high to turn a profit. As you delve deeper into the game, you'll encounter varying card conditions and set rarities that impact a card's value. Factors such as foil finish, abilities, and popularity play a significant role in determining what you can charge.

The game also features a roguelite deckbuilding mode set 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 effectively.
