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 with a legacy and a seaside shop to manage. Luckily, Harry has Giuseppe, a quick-witted cockatoo business partner with an uncanny ability to spot a great deal, by his side.
Balancing customer satisfaction with the occasional mischievous price gouge is all part of the fun. The game is brimming with charming characters, witty dialogue, and references to other card games and anime. Over 100 uniquely designed cards, complete with quirky illustrations and shiny variants, await discovery.
Gameplay Mechanics:
The core gameplay loop is simple: buy low, sell high, and profit. However, as you progress, card conditions and set rarities become increasingly dynamic. Factors like foil finishes and card popularity significantly impact 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 even run clearance sales to manage inventory.
