What’s the Deal in Kardboard Kings?

Assisting Harry is Giuseppe, a clever cockatoo with a sharp eye for profitable deals. Together, they navigate the bustling card shop located by a picturesque seaside, striving to satisfy every customer's needs. If you're feeling mischievous, you can even try to swindle customers for a quick buck.

The game is brimming with charming characters who exude wit and sarcasm, often referencing other card games and anime. The cards themselves are a highlight, boasting over 100 unique designs with quirky illustrations, including shiny variants.

What’s the Gameplay Like?

Kardboard Kings starts with the basic premise of buying low and selling high to turn a profit. As you delve deeper, you'll encounter varying card conditions and set rarities that influence a card's value, including factors like foil finish, abilities, and popularity.

Beyond the shop, Kardboard Kings offers a roguelite deckbuilding mode on Card Game Island. Here, you can challenge seasoned duelists, host tournaments, organize booster pack parties, or hold clearance sales to manage your inventory.
