Crunchyroll has added Kardboard Kings to its Android library! This single-player shop management game puts you in the shoes of a card shop owner, where the daily grind is anything but ordinary. Originally launched on PC in February 2022, this title from Henry's House, Oscar Brittain, and Rob Gross, and published by Akupara Games, has now made its way to consoles and mobile devices thanks to Crunchyroll. Best of all, it's free for Crunchyroll members!
What's the Kardboard Kings Story?
Step into the role of Harry Hsu, inheriting his father's card shop. His dad was a renowned card collector and champion of the legendary card game, Warlock. Harry's now the face of the business, navigating the exciting world of buying, selling, and trading cards.
He's not alone in this venture! Giuseppe, a quick-witted cockatoo with an uncanny ability to spot a good deal, serves as Harry's business partner. This feathered friend proves to have sharper instincts than most humans when it comes to lucrative trades.
Harry's seaside shop is a charming hub of activity, where keeping customers happy is key. But if you're feeling a bit mischievous, you can always try to boost your profits with a little… creative pricing.
The game is brimming with charming characters, witty sarcasm, and references to other card games and anime. Over 100 unique card designs, each with quirky illustrations and shiny variants, add to the visual appeal.
Gameplay Details
The core gameplay is simple: buy low, sell high, and turn a profit. However, as you progress, the complexities increase. Card conditions and set rarities fluctuate, and factors like foil finishes and card abilities influence value.
Kardboard Kings also features a roguelite deck-building mode on Card Game Island, where you'll face off against skilled duelists. You can also host tournaments, throw booster pack parties, or even clear out excess inventory with strategic clearance sales.
