Crunchyroll has expanded its Android vault by adding Kardboard Kings, a thrilling single-player management game where you take on the role of a card shop owner. Originally launched on PC in February 2022, this engaging title has now made its way to mobile devices, thanks to Crunchyroll. If you're a Crunchyroll member, you can download Kardboard Kings for free from the Google Play Store.

What's the Deal in Kardboard Kings?

In Kardboard Kings, you step into the shoes of Harry Hsu, who has inherited a card shop from his father—a renowned card collector and a former champion of the legendary card game Warlock. Harry is now the new proprietor, navigating the exciting world of card buying, selling, and trading.

Harry isn't alone in his venture; he's joined by Giuseppe, a savvy cockatoo with a talent for fast-talking and card dealing. This unique bird becomes Harry's trusted business partner, whose instincts are sharper than most humans when it comes to spotting lucrative deals.

The game's setting is a charming seaside location where Harry must keep his customers satisfied. However, if you're feeling a bit mischievous, you can try to swindle them for some extra cash. The characters in Kardboard Kings are filled with charm and sarcasm, often referencing other card games and anime. The cards themselves feature over 100 unique designs with quirky illustrations, including shiny variants that add to the game's allure.

What's the Gameplay Like?

Kardboard Kings starts with the basics of shop management: buying low, selling high, and turning a profit. As you delve deeper, you'll encounter fluctuating card conditions and set rarities. Every detail, from the foil finish to the card's popularity and abilities, impacts its value.

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