Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 68 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (164 of 177 positive).
Players find it a fun and addictive shop sim with great potential, especially for football fans. [1][2][3] Many appreciate the card grading system and the ability to create custom player cards. [4][5] Some reviewers note issues with slow workers and restocking, and a lack of sports variety beyond football. [6][7][8]

the game have the right idea BUT and here is a big BUT.... wtf is the reason for more workers if they all are so slow they dont get anything done before the day is over ???? why can we make so much money if nothing to use it on ??? maybe check up on TGC a heads up you really need to fix this.... maybe you dont want to let them run faster or whatever the reason is .... let us use money to upgrade ♥♥♥♥♥♥ workers with …

Funny spin on the shop sim and scratches the WC itch. The best for me is that it has a lot of small details and QOL that show that the dev team tried to make it with love and not just slop

DISCLAIMER: The game developers reached out to me and offered me this game for free if I streamed it on my Twitch channel. I want to start by saying that the game itself is fun, it's got great mechanics that we've seen in other games HOWEVER it's not a "sports card simulator" it's a football (soccer) card simulator. The only cards available are for football teams where with a name like "sports card sim" you'd think …

AMAZING game so far! What sets it apart from other Card shop games is GRADING, which adds another level, and the ability to actually create your own player for the cards. They also have the World Cup additions right now which is really cool!

This game is all about running a football trading card shop. Its core mechanics are quite similar to other store management games based on opening booster packs or mystery boxes. It also includes a few football-themed minigames. If you enjoy this genre, you will definitely like this one. Pros: As a shop simulator, it is very well-designed. Beyond card packs, it features a solid variety of merchandising products (I …

Players who liked Sports Card Shop Simulator talk about fun and addictive gameplay with great potential; those who didn't talk about workers are too slow and restocking needs improvement. Which matters more to you?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great sim for card collectors! It runs very smooth and my cpu & gpu temps are running very cool at 51c across the board at the highest settings which is one for the record books because usually all Simulator games run atleast a minimum of 10-15 degrees hotter than this one lol 10/10 Getting my moneys worth on this one!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game. I would love to see in the future more cards, for example champions league etc. Plus, it would be good to have a page where we can see all the cards possible to get in the game. Like a checkbook.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Solid game, reminds me a lot of the early versions of TCG Shop Sim. If your buying the game now, you understand your in for the dev haul. You'll do everything the game has to offer, wait for an update, and play it to completion every time and enjoy the hours it takes. It does something that no other TCG sim has accomplished from what I've seen and that's the numbered card system. And that alone is worth just watching the game progress. Excited to watch the game grow, the devs seem very…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far i've had no issues it would be nice to see more cards added soon as i have them all. and maybe add like baseball hockey basketball cards ect.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like TCG card shop simulator then you should like this, it is a little buggy not too bad NPC characters walk a little too slow haven't put too much time into it yet though, but it is fun and works great on the steam deck

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good game. I wish they would let you put in the number of orders instead of clicking the plus sign the whole time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game. Hopefully they add more sports than just soccer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sports Card Shop Simulator can yes be narrowed down to being like similar games in the genre but I think if you have a love of football this one really does excel and feel that little bit more personal. As a football fan myself I loved how I could create a sports card that looks like myself and the day to day life in game of building a card shop that is unique to me. It is easy to understand the mechanics and the in game days are long enough that they feel fleshed out but also short enough…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic game, highly enjoyable and recommended. The devs are very responsive with answers to questions on the discussions. Understandably some things to iron out with early access but this game has so much potential, fun game, relaxing too. Looking forward to seeing the roadmap and what is to come in the future.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is an amazing game with hours of playtime and very addictive it will grip you and pull you in especally for those who love card collecting thanks for an amazing game

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is fun but the restock needs some serious work. Even the superfast employees are terrible.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game very fun movement is a bit glitchy but my laptops fairly old. I know they are planning on adding basketball and I would love to see that and american football
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Potential. More stuff for the Card Creation mode would be top.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's a great game. The core mechanics are very addictive. However, compared to TCG Card Shop Simulator, this one gets boring after a while. Once you complete your collection I see no reason to keep buying packs. They'll probably release new expansions in the future, but for now the content is a bit too limited for me. Still, worth buying.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is just kinda Meh. I'm a huge fan of shop/store sim games, and this one just isn't it. There's not really a lot of product to sell in the game, opening a box of cards takes extremely too long (over 2.5 minutes), cards come out of packs 9 times out of 10 a little too destroyed, and there's no interaction at all for you with the NPC's of the game. It does have its highlights, though. Not everything about the game is bad. There is some merchandise in the store that can be changed to your…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a fun game to pass your free time. It has some bugs but it's in early access. For example the staff drops packages on the ground because the shelf is already full from another member of the staff. I would prefer more things to entertain yourself because I'm in level 51 at the moment and the only thing that i do, is ordering stock and openning packs to get all the numbered cards. And I'll keep doing this until I reach 100lvl. Also I would like to have the option to interact with the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is by far one of the better simulators I've ever played. Consistent on updates, very communicative with the community, They now how to display the greatest and unique styles of a simulator. Sure they don't have the Pack Opener from TCG, or the "Battle System" from tabletop. They have an album that if you complete, you gain a 3X bonus to your experience. So if you just open up packs early on, it gives you a benefit! Keep going guys you're doing the best I've seen in awhile!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →yep add more sports
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only 8 hours in but really enjoying the game. Im already £100k+ and all card series unlocked, but this is early access and cant wait to see how this evolves and the new cards that are added. Smooth gameplay and well optimised, Very happy to pay the £10 to support the progress on this game and really hope this takes off. You can tell alot of passion has been put in, even at this point.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun. lots of unique features. i hope it gets more sports.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fun. at the start it is grinding and the highs and lows make it stand out to me some games everything is handed to player making the grind the feel not worth it but once you get that good card pull you will be hooked
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game fun, enough to do or just chill at the till and have a chat with your fellow card collectors if you're after a chill game and not played a store game in the last 3-6 months it hits the spot plus it's the world cup coming up and you can play penalty shootout comps and do keep ups in game AMAZING JEFF ⚽🏆

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game, however once you get a card graded you can literally sell it for 9,999,999,999 no matter what grade and someone will buy it, this needs to be addressed
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great game that, with time and dedication to polish it, has enormous potential. It's the perfect blend for fans of simulation games, FIFA Ultimate Team, football fans in general, and even addicted gamers. Highly recommended 👍
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun simulator and the World Cup theme is really a fit for this summer. It amazes me how entertaining a game about working in a shop can be. That only means that the game is well done! Worth buying!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is super fun and addictive. The game mechanics are easy to follow.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Opening packs is too adictive. Gameplay is smooth and player names are SO funny!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LOVED the start of the game so if you enjoy TCG or just collecting Topps, Panini or whatever go for it :) If you plan on 100% completing this game via Steam achievements, mind you the final achievement is DREAD to get (lvl 100 shop). Overall a good game, updates are still going out, you have some minigames to kill time and mass opening pack boxes speed up the game quite a bit so its faster getting thru the days and getting XP from sales.

The OverPowered dev team is fantastic at answering questions (have had 2 interactions with the devs to date and both have been wonderful and insightful, many thanks to Carlos an Ro). The game play is not so easy it's boring nor so hard that you want to bang your head against a wall. There are also more scheduled updates and improvements that are actively being implemented as well. You can even make your own…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Couple of minor issues A) when unboxing shelves etc box gets in the way of lining up the shelf B) furniture buying more expensive banners or desks do anything? C) grading cards needs to improve or have other benifits. D) needs to be easier to indentify what cards you need in your album. E) My spelling needs to improve
