It&#8217;s FUN and the developers 100% understood their audience. The game is exactly what it sounds like, you own and manage your own card shop, open packs to find rare cards, unlock more product, decorate your shop, host card tournaments, and sell sell sell!<\/p>\n<p>The game has it&#8217;s own original monster battling card game along the lines of <strong>Pok\u00e9mon<\/strong> and <strong>Digimon<\/strong>, it&#8217;s no surprise that this game was picked up by many gaming steamers. With mod integration, there are endless reskins for this game for both existing card games or all new ones for many fandoms. I really enjoyed seeing the creativity of the community. The best part is that the developers have continued to update the game with new features and quality of life changes.<\/p>\n<p>Having grown up going to card shops since childhood, I was really happy to see how much the game acknowledged various facets of the industry; from stinky customers (I&#8217;ve encountered many in my day, being a girl) to card grading nerds (you know the types), I&#8217;ve had a good chuckle seeing these things included in the game. This game is a solid recommendation for folks that love card shops, it&#8217;s easily one of the better shop simulation games out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Review TCG Card Shop Simulator exploded onto the gaming scene last Fall and for very good reason.
