About This Game

Cardboard Leagues - a fantasy world of sports cards and memorabilia

This is a sports card shop keeper sim where you start with a small shop in a quiet part of a North American town with nothing but the collection of cards you had before you decided to become an owner.

You'll need to grow the shop thru five different tiers unlocking new features along the way. You get to buy and sell from customers, buy stock from suppliers and hire employees to manage it all for you.

The game features five sports, start with one; unlock the rest:

• Hockey

• Football

• Soccer

• Baseball

• Basketball

Each sports features 32 unique teams complete with logos, uniforms (home/away) and fully simulated with in-game context that covers the sport thru in-fiction sports pages and television shows.

Rip 'em open

Buy hobby boxes and retail boxes from your suppliers and spend time chasing for your favorite players by ripping packs. Spend the big dollars on premium sets and look for a grail.

Cards, Jerseys, Pucks, Balls, Rings, Mini-helmets

There's chase, autograph and relic cards for you to collect and build your empire around. Want to offer sports apparel, signed balls & pucks, resell an old championship ring? You decide what kind of store you want to be. Customers will come in with buy/sell ambitions along with grading and consignment requests.

Hire some help

Everything in the game is playable by the player but eventually you'll want to automate things with employees. Promote them, train them, talk to them. They are the heartbeat of the store.

The world around you is alive

Pick from hundreds of different real-life North American cities split across three styles: rural, suburban and urban. Celebrate your local teams with a championship parade and be on the lookout for burglars of your store. Follow your teams and tell your staff to place buy orders for the hot rookies.

The game evolves over time, pay attention to your customers; they will tell you want they want. Get visited and reviewed by in-game streamer personalities where they post on their snarky social media app Gatekeeper.

Highly dynamic content

Each sport goes thru season cycles and new sets drop each year. Card values adjust based on how the in-game sports sims playout. Card poses go thru a highly dynamic engine to provide fresh content year to year, sport to sport and player to player. No two Cardboard League games are ever the same.

Challenges await you

Forty achievements to unlock across the game with the ultimate plan to sell a card for more than a million dollars.
