[h2]Buy trading cards low and sell them high in Kardboard Kings on February 10th![/h2]
You are Harry Hsu, a young man who recently inherited a card shop from his father, a former champion of the famous card game "Warlock." With the shop’s reputation on the line, you start working behind the counter, juggling the locals' requests while trying to familiarize yourself with owning a shop.
Your guide, Giuseppe, a fast-talking Cockatoo, helps you in your buying and selling journey - securing cards of various rarities to top collectors or helping an enthusiastic customer from the neighbourhood.

Here’s the best stuff in store over the next few weeks:
[h3]Kardboard Kings Radio[/h3]
On Monday January 31st, you’ll be able to hear the Original Game Soundtrack of Kardboard Kings with a special twist! Tune in to the full length recording of the best damn radio station in all of Parakeet Bay, Radio PKB hosted by Orion Duran. We’ll also be debuting the Kardboard Kings soundtrack the same day so you can pick up your favorite tracks as soon as you hear them.
[h3]Legendary Card Puzzles![/h3]
Before you can unfold the mystery of the legendary cards in Kardboard Kings, solve the Legendary Card puzzles in the Kardboard Kings and Akupara Games Discord servers! The week before the game launches, we’ll be holding a contest on both Discords for players to get Kardboard Kings keys on launch. A series of emotes will be added to the server and the first player to decipher the puzzle wins the key! Puzzles begin on February 7th!
[h3]The Kardboard Kings Launch Party[/h3]
As ever, the day that Kardboard Kings goes live, we’ll be celebrating on the Akupara Games Twitch page with the developers behind the game and an all-day stream to see if we can collect every card in the game! Tune in at 11AM Pacific on February 10th to be a part of the action and feel free to race Buddy to 100% completion.

Do you wanna make big money flipping Warlock cards? Do you wanna cut good deals for all your friends and get a rep for being the best card shop in town? How do new sets, tournaments, clearance sales, and booster drafts work? Buddy will be breaking down the finer details of Kardboard King’s mechanics in this video series starting Friday, February 11th, the day after the game launches!
“Often shopkeeping mechanics act as a secondary mechanic used to supplement a more central mechanic within games. We wanted to bring shopkeeping to the front and centre and ended up taking a unique approach to designing the core shopkeeping gameplay.” - Oscar Brittain and Rob Gross, Creators of Kardboard Kings
