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, available free to Crunchyroll members.
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 unlikely business partner? Giuseppe, a shrewd cockatoo with an uncanny ability to spot a great deal. Located seaside, the shop presents a charming yet challenging environment where Harry must satisfy customers – or, if he chooses, cleverly outsmart them.
The game boasts charming characters, witty dialogue, and references to other card games and anime. Over 100 unique, quirky card designs, 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 ability popularity.
Kardboard Kings also includes a roguelite deckbuilding mode on Card Game Island, where you'll face formidable duelists, host tournaments, organize booster pack parties, and manage clearance sales to keep inventory fresh.
