What’s the Deal in Kardboard Kings?
In **Kardboard Kings**, you step into the shoes of Harry Hsu, who has recently inherited a card shop from his father—a renowned card collector and former champion of the legendary card game Warlock. Harry now stands behind the counter, embarking on a journey through the vibrant world of card buying, selling, and trading.
Assisting Harry is his unique business partner, Giuseppe—a cockatoo with a remarkable talent for fast-talking and deal-making. Together, they manage the shop situated in a picturesque seaside location. As Harry, you'll strive to satisfy every customer, although the temptation to engage in a bit of mischief and overcharge for profit might arise.
The game is filled with charming characters dripping with sarcasm and brimming with references to other card games and anime. The cards themselves are a highlight, featuring over 100 unique designs with quirky illustrations, including shiny variants.
What’s the Gameplay Like?
The gameplay begins with the simple yet engaging concept of buying low and selling high to generate profits. As you delve deeper, you'll encounter the intricacies of card conditions and set rarities. Factors such as foil finish, abilities, and popularity significantly influence a card's value, adding depth to the trading experience.
**Kardboard Kings** also introduces a roguelite deckbuilding mode on Card Game Island, where you can challenge formidable duelists. Additionally, you can organize tournaments, host booster pack parties, or hold clearance sales to manage your inventory effectively.
