Manage Event is a feature accessible through the mobile app in TCG Card Shop Simulator game that enables store owners to run card game tournaments in-store.
The events require minimal active involvement from the player, aside from selecting the event of the day and ensuring a sufficient number of Play Tables for customers. This setup allows events to serve as a convenient source of passive income for the store.
Overview
Events are unlocked progressively as customers play in the store and complete matches. Each customer pays based on their actual playing time, meaning players who are waiting or sitting alone do not incur any charges until they find an opponent. Although fees are calculated per hour, some customers may play for shorter durations, while others may play for extended periods. The system automatically calculates fees based on each customer’s playtime (e.g., a Standard event with a 30-minute player session would generate $3.50).
Apart from the standard event, all other events come with a fixed daily operating cost, regardless of player participation. Therefore, it’s wise to evaluate the store’s capacity—both in tables and estimated matches—before investing in high-cost events.
Each event influences card prices in two ways: some cards experience a price increase, while others may decrease. This dynamic allows store owners to strategically plan card sales, ensuring items are neither over- nor undervalued.
Events run from store opening until 9 pm. Any players waiting alone or without potential opponents after a purchase will not generate income. To maximize profits, it’s recommended to let all matches finish and check out players before closing for the day or starting a new event.
