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 card-collecting father's shop and the legacy of the legendary card game, Warlock. Your business partner? Giuseppe, a surprisingly shrewd cockatoo with a talent for deal-making. Together, you'll navigate the bustling seaside card shop, striving to satisfy customers (or, if you're feeling bold, perhaps even outsmart them!).
The game is brimming with charming characters, witty dialogue, and nods 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 is simple: buy low, sell high, and profit! However, as you progress, card conditions and set rarities fluctuate, adding layers of strategy. Foil finishes, ability popularity, and other factors all impact a card's value.
Kardboard Kings also incorporates a roguelite deck-building mode on Card Game Island, where you'll face formidable duelists. Organize tournaments, host booster pack parties, or even hold clearance sales to manage your inventory.
