This game is exactly what you should expect. A card shop sim that scratches the TCG itch. The cards have a nice design and the set variation is built out in a way that feels natural. Progression throughout the game feels great at the start but turns into a blood curdling grind in the end game.

Around Shop Level 80 it started to feel like a slog with no clear strategies or upgrades to guide development. At Shop Level 90, I turned to mods to speed up the card opening process as the number of card packs I could open in a day was the greatest method for obtaining additional Shop Level XP. Even with instant card pack openings, the grind to Shop Level 100 is still bone dry.

The cost of entry is well worth the ride you'll take creating, collecting, and managing your Card Shop. The first 50 levels are glorious and well worth exploring if you find yourself with a TCG itch or a sim management itch.

Big props to the DEV, thank you for fun ride!
