TCG Card Shop Simulator: stock to sell, cards to keep

TCG Card Shop Simulator

You want the shop to grow, but also want to open its stock yourself. Reviews describe the pull between shopkeeper and collector. Both the store and your own collection can become personal projects.

Arranging shelves and improving the shop also has appeal. Repeated opening and retail routines can wear thin, however; choose it if collecting and daily upkeep are themselves enjoyable.

What makes it fun

  1. Sell it or open it?

    Sell a pack to fund the shop, or crack it open in search of a rare card. Each shipment puts the shopkeeper and collector in you at odds.

  2. Rework the shelves and stock

    Rearrange booster pack shelves and keep stock for restocking nearby. As the product range grows, working out a layout that suits the shop becomes part of the fun.

  3. Your role changes as the shop grows

    In a small shop, you handle checkout and restocking yourself. Once you hire staff, you can hand off those jobs and spend your time opening packs or arranging the store.
