Crunchyroll Releases Kardboard Kings, a Card Shop and Collector Simulator

Crunchyroll's Android app now features Kardboard Kings, a captivating single-player card shop management game. Initially 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, exclusively available to Crunchyroll members at no extra cost.

The Kardboard Kings Experience:

Step into the shoes of Harry Hsu, inheriting his card-collecting father's seaside shop and the legacy of the legendary card game, Warlock. Harry's business partner? Giuseppe, a surprisingly shrewd cockatoo with a talent for deals. Navigate the exciting world of buying, selling, and trading cards, keeping customers satisfied (or cleverly outsmarting them for extra profit!). 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 revolves around the classic "buy low, sell high" principle. However, as you progress, card conditions and set rarities fluctuate, adding layers of strategic depth. Factors like foil finishes and card popularity significantly impact value.

Kardboard Kings also introduces a roguelite deckbuilding mode on Card Game Island, where you'll face challenging duelists. Organize tournaments, host booster pack parties, or clear out excess inventory with strategic clearance sales.
