The game

Take over your master's shop

Tucked away at the edge of the shopping district lies CARD SHOP SHUFFLE!, a tiny trading card store left to you after the passing of the old owner, your master. The problem? The place is a complete mess. 2,500 cards are scattered across the floor, alongside unopened booster packs, card sleeves, and energy drinks.

Know your cards

Pick up a card and take a closer look. Which title and set is it from? Is it a First Edition or a reprint? Is it damaged or in mint condition — or maybe even a graded card? High-value hits go into the display case, budget cards go into the storage bins. Don't worry if you don't know them all: your master's old PC still holds helpful info for looking up card details.

Open for business: moment of truth

Once you're done tidying up, open the shop for business. Even if you're a rookie owner, your customers are sharp and won't go easy on you. Price a card too low and you lose profit; price it too high and it sits on the shelf. Did your research and judgment pay off? Today's sales will give you the answer.

Inherit your master's skills

As you tidy up the shop, you'll earn points to unlock new skills. Inherit your master's techniques to speed up your researching and sorting. Just remember: skills won't give you all the answers. In the end, you have to rely on your own knowledge and observation.
