Cardboard Town is a city-building card game where you manage resources, upgrade buildings, and navigate random events to build the ultimate tabletop metropolis.

Cardboard Town has a charmingly aesthetic and hand-drawn art style, but you aren't just mindlessly placing buildings to make a pretty skyline; you are actively managing a complex economy where every decision matters. Every card you play impacts your delicate balance of Water, Electricity, and Safety.

⚡ The Gameplay Loop

Draw Your Hand: Each turn gives you new options. Will you expand your residential district or upgrade your power grid?

Manage Your Stats: Keep an eye on your Money, Electricity, Water, Environment, and Safety. If your population grows too fast without the infrastructure to support it, things get messy.

Survive the Chaos: Random disasters and events will test your planning. Do you have the Action Cards to save the day?

Unlock & Upgrade: Earn persistent rewards after every run to beef up your deck for the next attempt.
