FAQ
What is TCG Card Shop Simulator?
A single-player retail/management sim where you run a local TCG shop: stock packs and cards, set prices, checkout customers, hire staff, and expand. Developed by OPNeon Games. Official store: Steam app 3070070.
How should I price booster packs?
Community habit: start from market price + ~10%, and be careful with markups much over ~20%. Always set the price after stocking. Full notes: Pricing guide.
What is the 8:00 AM restock trick?
Keep the store closed around 8:00 AM so time often freezes while workers restock and you label shelves. Open when ready. Workers still don’t buy wholesale for you. See Restock at 8:00 AM.
When should I hire workers?
Unlock staff through GO Recruit at level milestones. Early on, put hires on restock and checkout yourself. A stronger cashier is often cited around level ~25 (e.g. Clark Cash). Details: Workers.
Should I open packs on day one?
Pay bills and keep restock cash first. Speculative cracking is safer once the shop floats. Beginner guide · Day-1 checklist.
Why isn’t anything selling?
Check: store open, shelves stocked, price set, markup not extreme, and the right product on the labeled shelf. Market drift can also leave old prices stale — recheck every couple of days (Pricing).
Do workers buy inventory for me?
Generally no — restock staff place stock you already purchased. You still place wholesale orders. See Restock 8 AM.
