A lousy cheapskate jimmy two-packs buys two lousy packs from me in TCG Card Shop Simulator.

While I’ve been known to enjoy a few of them in my time, I tend to view a lot of more mundanesimulator gamesin the same way I view sports games: Looks fine, but I could do this stuff in real life, were I inclined and also social and also vaguely limber instead of owning a spine with roughly the flexibility of a rib n’ saucy Nik Nak.

A shiny nimblis, my beloved in TCG Card Shop Simulator.

You get your own digital binder to collect your cards, and this works as a sort of sub-objective running in tandem to themanagementstuff, since you can only stock high-level boosters once you’ve upgraded your shop. As you go, you’ll also get more furnishings, play tables, things of that nature. And, yes, the game couldn’t help itself: some of your customers have giant green cartoon stink clouds that effect the experience of your other customers. Missed opportunity for aPowerwash Simulatorminigame, imo.

There’sa prologue on Steamif you want to try it out, and even from just a brief piss about, I’m starting to understand the attention it’s getting. It’s nicely made, pleasant, and nostalgic in all the right ways. You can even leave the shop and go for a wander, although there is an invisible wall that stops me going to buy cheap pizza, which I consider an act of violence.
