Quick facts:Cards
Cards play a secondary role in TCG Card Shop Simulator game, allowing players to collect or sell the cards they obtain from packs. In TCG Card Shop Simulator, cards are a central feature, offering players the chance to build an extensive collection, enhance gameplay strategies, and profit from trading. The game boasts a diverse range of card types, each with unique rarities, editions, and foil variants, catering to both casual collectors and serious players. With three primary collections—Tetramon, Destiny, and the elusive Ghost cards—players can explore a variety of themes, abilities, and aesthetic styles. Cards can be obtained by opening booster packs, each categorized by rarity level, from Common to Legendary, with special Ghost packs offering a rare chance to acquire the game’s most valuable cards. Collecting in TCG Card Shop Simulator is not only about amassing cards but also strategically managing rarities, editions like 1st Edition and EX, and coveted foil variants, each adding a unique layer of value and challenge to the player’s collection journey.
Overview
To obtain cards, players need to open a single card pack purchased through Stock Order. There are currently three card collections (Tetramon, Destiny, and Ghost). The first two collections have four buyable rarities:
- Basic (blue packs, marked as "Common" in the album)
- Rare (yellow/gold packs, marked as "Rare" in the album)
- Epic (purple/pink packs)
- Legendary (red packs)
Note that the Ghost collection is not available as a standalone pack. Instead, there is a rare chance of finding a Ghost card within any pack from the Tetramon or Destiny collections.
Edition Types
Beyond the standard rarity packs, cards are also divided by individual edition and whether they are foil or non-foil. The following editions exist:
- Normal: No special text or coloration, these are the most common edition type.
- 1st Edition: Displays "1st Edition" under the image with a white border.
- Silver Edition: Labeled as "Silver Edition" with a silver border.
- Gold Edition: Marked as "Gold Edition" with a gold border.
- EX: Displays "EX" under the image with a gold/yellow border.
- Full Art: The entire card features character art, rather than just a small box in the top half.
- Ghost: Appears mostly in black or white with minimal coloration, and is considered the highest value card type in the game, often valued around 10,000.
Both foil and non-foil versions are available for each of these editions. Foil cards have an additional reflective sheen, including Ghost cards, and obtaining a foil Ghost card unlocks an in-game achievement.
Not counting Ghost cards, each character card within a given rarity (e.g., "Common") has 12 different versions to collect.
Probability of Each Card Rarity
- Full Art: 1 in 400 (0.25%)
- EX: 1 in 100 (1%)
- Gold: 1 in 25 (4%)
- Silver: 1 in 12.5 (8%)
- First Edition: 1 in 5 (20%)
- Any Foil: 1 in 20 (5%)
(Each rarity type has a separate chance of being a foil. For example, a Full Art Foil card requires both a 1 in 400 chance to get a Full Art and a 1 in 20 chance for it to be a foil, equating to a 1 in 8,000 or 0.0125% chance.)
Ghost Cards
There are 20 character cards with Ghost variants, creating 80 unique Ghost cards in total. Each Ghost card has the following types:
- Two white Ghost cards (foil and non-foil)
- Two black Ghost cards (foil and non-foil)
Ghost cards always appear as the 7th card in a pack. The probability of obtaining a Ghost Pack depends on the type of pack:
- Tetramon Pack: 1 in 1,000 (0.1%) chance for a Ghost Pack
- Destiny Pack: 1 in 500 (0.2%) chance for a Ghost Pack
The rarity of the pack (e.g., Basic, Rare, Epic, or Legendary) does not affect the chance of it being a Ghost Pack.
Foil Ghost cards are the rarest and most valuable in the game. Obtaining a Foil Ghost card unlocks the "Lucky Bastard" achievement.
- Tetramon Pack Foil Ghost: 1 in 20,000 (0.005%) chance
- Destiny Pack Foil Ghost: 1 in 10,000 (0.01%) chance
Collecting
Currently, there are 1,320 cards across the two main collections (Tetramon and Destiny) and 80 Ghost cards. In the Tetramon and Destiny sets, each edition (for both non-foil and foil) has separate numbers, meaning each character card, like Nocti, has 12 different versions.
In total, there are 110 unique character cards, each with 12 variant cards to collect.
Currently, Tetramon and Destiny collections are nearly identical in structure: aside from pack type and background differences, the character art, numbers, and stats are the same across both collections. Cards of the same rarity pack type will share similar characteristics across collections.
