About This Game

A trading card shop management sim where players lay out their own store, organize shelves, stock booster packs, set prices, hire staff and pay the bills. Players serve customers at the register, host in-shop card game events, and open packs to hunt rare cards to sell or keep, levelling up the shop to unlock licences and expansions.
