The card shop is what 18 players out of 31 call addictive. Over 55% have already logged more than 25 hours and kept coming back, yet the framerates stutter when the store gets busy.

What it's about: Ouvrez votre propre magasin de jeux local. Remplissez vos rayons avec les derniers boosters, ou craquez-les et collectionnez les cartes. Fixez vos propres prix, recrutez du personnel, organisez des événements et développez votre boutique de cartes.
