TCG Card Shop Tycoon Simulator Reviews

I really love this game and I thought about something cool.
20,000 Destiny Points: DP Generator
This will start grabbing DP on a per hour basis at a really low number and can only be upgraded by said Destiny Points to increase how many DP you get offline over time. This would go great with the people that purchased extra offline time like me as upgrades tend to get extremely high cost for upgrading how many card packs I can open for DP and how many points I can get from a play table at a time. Not that you have to take this suggestion. This is just something I thought about for people that might be struggling and its a way to keep the attention on this game so people can essentially just keep getting stronger and eventually win the leaderboards for the Champion Cards. Other than that this is such a solid game to pour time into especially someone like me with ADHD. Keep up the good work!

Previous Review: *Loved this game like I haven’t loved a mobile game in awhile. That was, until, I got all 4 Destiny Cards, and when that happened, I lost ALL of my progress. Obviously I’m not going to restart because I had every shelf and I was fully stocked and then some. Had so many cards. What’s the point of cloud save if you turn around and it doesn’t work, literally, at all, somehow.* Newest: I think I may have just been stupid, and perhaps it was a sort of reset, like Adventure Capitalist is sort of known for. Within 6 minutes I was back in the billions, so I’m assuming it was a reset with an upgrade that I missed it describe. My one note is: I’ve seen multiple reviews about the Destiny Cards causing issues, but i thinks it’s just based around confusion of what they are. Maybe put a bigger/more wordy information screen before getting all four of the Destiny Cards.

Personally would love to see more cards and continued support of this game. You can actually progress without having to pay to play and the ads provide worthwhile rewards. I don’t understand the hate on the in app purchases. It is a very well polished game and this Dev/Game deserves the support IMO. I personally won’t buy them because they actually take away from the playability/would make the game extremely easy. The customers appearance/variety could definitely use improvement. Shop customization would be a great addition as well! I tried the second game and did not enjoy it at all. Seems like it went one step forward and two steps back. In terms of graphics and shop customization but being way too grindy/pay to play. It appears to be a different developer however.

This is my first ever review on a game, but I felt I needed to say something since I never play phone games. After seeing so many ads about trying this game out- I finally caved and decided to download it. Initially the game is very simple to understand, and it keeps you pretty busy! The logistics are spot on and I love that it’s not your everyday “pay to play” game. It’s very fast paced and if you aren’t paying attention you have to restock pretty often. However overall I’m just starting out, and I’m loving the game so far. It’s a cool “idle” concept that I believe everyone should give a shot. Would love the concept of moving shelves around for a more personalized shop. Also maybe the addition of more workers and cashiers! Other than that it’s worth the download. Thanks! 🤝

So idle games are hit or miss at best for playability vs pay to win. This game is absolutely 3000% playable with zero investment and is an absolute BLAST!!!

That being said, paying to remove ads was the best purchase I could have made. Being able to claim every bonus immediately makes it just that much more fun and helps with the downtime.

If you want something you can check in on 4 or 5 times a day and feel like you’re making progress, you’ve found the right app!

Pretty frustrated. It’s an enjoyable game. I paid $15 for a couple features. I put a lot of time into it to come back this evening and when the game booted up, there was a bizarre glitch where the man was trying to make a deal with me again. I couldn’t click on anything, and there was a prompt glitched behind the guy showing me shop stats. I couldn’t click on anything, so I force closed and reopened it. When I did that, the game just started over by taking me through the tutorial. Nothing I did was saved. I stopped it again and sure enough I got the tutorial again. There’s nothing I can do. I put in A LOT of time into this and even threw some money toward it to support it. I really can’t be bothered to start over. There has to be a way to securely back up your save. There’s a cloud save function, but it obviously can be compromised with that weird glitch I got.

Just be warned.

One feature that would’ve been really nice as the “shop owner” would be to move around the store setup. To move the shelving in a way that I liked would’ve been a nice touch as well as color customizing the shop as far as walls, floors, or even decorations in the shop. Cardboard cutouts, tables for customers to come in and play TCG. Just so that shop feels and looks like a card shop and not just a shop with shelves in it.
The one feature I hope to see added would be able to upgrade the front counter so that way I can have more individual cards for sale. As I’ve played, I’ve gathered quite a few duplicates that I’d like to sell at a faster rate. But overall, the game is good fun and I’d like to see more improvements to keep me interested. 👍🏻

Game is well built and has no issues. Was fun for about a day or two but very quickly gets old. Once you go through a couple of cycles and max out a store, then what? Within one day, and without spending any money on the game, I was already making the max amount of money. It was fun to get there, buttttttt it just falls flat after that. Management becomes more mundane and a chore rather than fun. The extra upgrades with DP eventually just become obsolete and unnecessary in order to get things going. Gets very boring very fast without any extra expansions, no different cards, without anything to do with your cards other than save and sell. But what’s the point of selling cool cards if you no longer need the money? I had more money than I could spend, things were getting maxed out, and just got old. Again, cool for a day though.

Pretty solid game as far as idle games go however there is a couple things worth pointing out. The first one being the amount of time spent in the restock menus. You chocks be allowed to change the amount of cards to purchase at one time in the 0second option it’s a hassle to take 20mins to restock myself just to waste half of it to refill my shelves. The second thing I’d like to point out is; if the effort went into the cards to give them stats and hp. Then why not give us a mini game that goes along with the cards in game? There’s plenty of room to expand on that too from PVP, Tournaments, CPU battles, etc…..

Being someone who’s always loved TCGs (whether it’s Yugioh or Pokemon, etc) it would be dope to be able to open and profit off of my own shop, surrounded by all the cards and packs I could ever want; this game gives us the simulation of making a lot of money doing so. It’s cool that we can lay out our store with the products we want and I also enjoy when NPC customers come in for specific cards sort of how they would in real life. For a tycoon game it’s fairly fast paced which is good especially if you’re trying to pass some time. So if you enjoy TCGs and collecting cards, give it a try!

I enjoy the style of the game and the gameplay is a decent loop, but some things require some serious help. -buying card packs in only 100x (I’ve been holding down the buy button for 10 minutes straight for common card pack restock, it’s not fun) -no way to get manager in game to help restock without paying real money, a clear pay to win advantage, which is fine as I enjoy the non forced ads, however when I do allow for certain ads they don’t got me the reward I should be getting. Like the restock ad doesn’t get me restock for an hour. -unfortunately a clear cash grab, with decent gameplay. With some love, this game can become great, as it has lots of potential

It’s a very good idle game but a lot of time is spent trying to restock your shelves which makes you go into the restock menus and just keep clicking and clicking ignoring your actual shop. You will spend a lot of time in these windows unless you have upgrades to get more products at once (which take minutes to hours) it would be nice to be able to “hire” someone (maybe with the destiny points) to add a small passive restock instead of needing to spend $9.99.
Other than that the only thing it’s missing is cosmetics.

Been playing for a few hours and really like it! Though I can immediately tell I’ll get bored fast because it’s severely lacking in any sort of customization. Would LOVE some way to change the way my store manager looks. Tired of looking at my Animal Crossing Villager character behind the counter. Maybe add character skins or character creation options? Also, be able to customize the appearance of the shop at all would be great.

Just needs some personalization to make it something truly special. :)

I love this game it is sooooo fun I can play it for like 1 hour and not even get bored I just think they should make some stuff less expensive I know you make like 5k in like 1 minute but stuff is still expensive I was only like 10 minutes in to the and I saw something that was more then 30k I thought that was a big amount of money cus I was only playing for 10 minutes but that is it I still think this is a great game to play. P.s pls make things less expensive

Pro: Paying to remove adds actually removes all ads.
Option to prestige once you have collected 4 artifact cards.
No clearly forced paywall.

Fun game to actually idle or check off and on or pay attention to off and on. Kind of Addicting.

Con: You cannot choose specific products to be put on a specific shelf with the auto-restock feature ( paid feature ) it just jumbles all products selected onto all shelves.

Money eventually stops mattering so sales almost stop mattering because you just need to collect more stars from opening more card packs. Which are based of how many 1000's of packs sold but not based on the profit or anything like that. So you just have a huge pile of money and nothing to spend it on.

Alot More shop upgrades should be cash.

I’ve seen plenty Idle games but never really been into them, but when I saw literally my hobby as a game, I had to try it and I’m glad I did! I’ve been playing for a couple days now and I’m liking the way the game works, its pretty fun and has some pretty neat card designs.

If the developer sees this, great game! Something I’d love to see would be some kind of card game built into the game with the cards you have created.

Overall good game and would recommend!

So I’ve been enjoying this game but I’ve noticed I haven’t been getting credit for selling legendary packs. I buy like a 1000 at a time and when I reopen TCGCardShopTycoonSimulator it says I have 0 and no credit for selling them. This isn’t a deal breaker for me but I have been holding off until this is fixed to buy those packs because it’s just a waste. Also there is a bug on overcharging for the basic pack where it stops at $16 but your level will continue to go up and charge you accordingly

I truly enjoy this game, it’s great fun even without paying for anything. But I’d really like to see them introduce some cosmetics to customize your store. Maybe some new passives with the destiny points. The store look is pretty bland, and I’m sure everyone would like to customize theirs as well!
Easily a five star with some more customization to things. Maybe some more interaction with NPCs to some degree. Maybe a haggle feature when a customer offers you a price ? (Since they always low ball). Either way, great game.

So, first jumping in I thought “has to be a small collection and very boring” but I was wrong, with over 100 pages of cards it keeps it interesting!

My gripes are that the introduction was a bit short which is fine if you want to jump right in, i other hand either didn’t pay enough attention or just plane forgot to upgrade the store and restock the shelves. All in all, fun idle game that has kept me interested thus far.

This is a great fun game when i have little time i open and close apps from boredom i been looking for a fun game like this. But i felt like it was missing something and that is decorations maybe adding cool decorations to the store that add different effects and i notice that the front of the store gets really busy so maybe a door at the back so that the store kinda evens out even wothout these still a fun game to fuel my gacha addiction without having to grind for hours
