“"...okay, just one more pack before bed" I can't put this game down. Addicting to those of us who get suckered into mystery boxes, "collect 'em all" type things, and I'm not complaining AT ALL! Enjoyable artwork,…”
“10/10 – Surprisingly Addictive I picked up Card Shop Simulator thinking it’d be a chill time-killer, but it hooked me way more than expected. The loop of stocking your shop, opening packs, and managing prices is super…”
“I have to admit it's odd wanting to give this game a try, considering in my real life I own a LGS. I guess, I was interested to see how similar it was to the real thing. Here are my pros and cons list for TCG CSS. Pros…”

“Overall a very fun game so far. Road map looks good. I think otherwise the biggest ask I have is 2-4 person co-op. When the card game becomes playable it could make for some fun competition between friends. It honestly…”
“It is a fun game with plenty of fun in store and tons of potential to build a even more addictive product over time as the dev is constantly updating and changing the overall experience.”

“I enjoy this game as a Pokemon Collecter, it satisfy's the dopamine hits from getting rare cards without having to spend my money! Fire game, play it trust.”
“I love to collect. I always have. Unfortunately now as a disabled vet I do not have the requisite finances to do it. That should tell you why I love this game, it scratches that itch without spending anything other than…”
“I like this game one of the better simulator game can be boring sometimes but its worth it also can go GAMBLING good game'”

“One of the better 'Simulator' games. The collector aspect makes the game engaging even in the endgame.”
“Fun but repetitive after a while, it is definitely a game you come back to after a while. As well as adding some mods for fun, otherwise the game is really good”
“Been playing for 350+ in game days and still collecting.”

“Loving it. 14 hours in and so far haven't stumbled into any bugs or performance issues. The gameplay loop is simple yet fun. Modding community is on point, with tons of QOL stuff to remove and/or tweak the more tedious…”
“Great game, picked it up expecting a little bit of fun and ended up losing hours to it. Awesome modding community too.”
“This game is such a gem. It delivers everything you would expect and more! The mod scene is insane right now and the continued development is just making this great game even better. If you love TCGs this game is must…”

“Very good early game of managing a game store. Game falls short at the endgame where you just sit around and open packs all day long. Manually selling the cards is also terribly draining. Regardless, fun six hours of…”
“This is hard to recommend. It's a fun game. Hell, it's even a good game. But it's lacking such basic quality of life features, and has been for years. A lack of proper ability to have multiple distinct playthroughs…”
“The setting and vibe are great. However at its current state it became boring and repetitive pretty fast for me personally. Also the economics of this game make no sense. Playtables generate revenue out of thin air, you…”

“Amazingly fun and addictive. Two comfort changest I would like to see. 1. The more advansed pack openers should not get slower, they should just hold more cards. 2. The bulk card bundle table should not be a guessing…”
“Would be good some explaining about what influences what, consequences of actions and better toolstips, also the street is dead, something could be made about it like in Retro Rewind”
“A couple things this game could really use: Saving orders so I don't have to click a hundred times to restock. A trade specific table the player can operate and the customers that would usually stand with an exclamation…”

“10/10 for the first 10 hours of playing. 5/10 after playing for 15 hours total. 2.5/10 after playing for 19 hours. 1.9/10 after playing for 24 hours. Great game if you want 10 hours of gameplay with no getting bored.…”
“the first 40 or so hours of this game are quite fun. However, once you actually get money and unlock most of the stuff you become an evil manager that hates your employees and just wants them to go faster. This game…”
“Very addicting, great game! Has potential to be even greater, but it needs a lot more content, especially late game content. Would also like to see much larger shop space, more wealthy customers, and more valuable…”
