Cardboard Town

Cardboard Town is a city-building card game in which you manage resources, upgrade buildings and respond to random events as you build a tabletop city. Each card you play affects the balance of your city’s resources and conditions.

Build and manage your city

Each turn gives you new cards to choose from, such as expanding a residential district or upgrading the power grid. You manage Money, Electricity, Water, Environment and Safety; if the population grows faster than its infrastructure, problems arise. Random disasters and events test your plans, and Action Cards can help you respond.

Failing to manage your stats or resolve disasters triggers a Red Alert. Three Red Alerts end the run, and you can try to beat your high score in a new attempt.

Cards and rewards

The game includes over 300 Building, Action and Quest cards, as well as Festivals and Upgrades. Building cards let you develop the city, Action cards help handle random events and adjust cards, Quest cards give you goals to complete and ways to make your people happy, and Road cards add roads for cars.

After each run, you earn persistent rewards to improve your deck for the next attempt. Upgrades, random festivals, disasters and quests vary between runs. You can unlock new building cards, festivals, cosmetics and resources.
