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 father's card shop. His father, a renowned card collector and Warlock champion, leaves Harry to navigate the exciting world of card buying, selling, and trading.

Harry's not alone; he's partnered with Giuseppe, a shrewd cockatoo with a knack for deals. This feathered friend offers invaluable assistance, possessing a keen eye for profitable opportunities.

The seaside location adds charm, but keeping customers happy (or, if you're feeling daring, slightly less than happy) is Harry's challenge.

The game boasts charming characters with witty dialogue, referencing other card games and anime. Over 100 uniquely designed cards, complete with quirky illustrations and shiny variants, add to the appeal.

Gameplay Mechanics:

The core gameplay revolves around the classic "buy low, sell high" principle. However, as you progress, card conditions and set rarities become increasingly dynamic. Factors like foil finish and ability popularity significantly impact a card's value.

Kardboard Kings also includes a roguelite deck-building 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.
