Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this free prologue, praising its card pack opening and shop management, though many say it is limited and gets repetitive.

Many players enjoy opening booster packs, hunting rare cards and selling them, and some find arranging shelves, pricing stock and running the shop satisfying and relaxing. Players call it a good free taste of the full game and say it suits a quiet way to pass time. Complaints focus on the small playable area, the limited product and card range, and the lack of any real challenge. Some players say the game gets repetitive after a few hours, and a few point to money that is hard to earn early on. Several report performance problems on modest computers, and a few mention a purchase bug where payment is taken without items being added. Many reviewers say they would buy the full version when they can afford it. Recent reviews are not covered here.
