About

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.

🃏 A Massive Deck of PossibilitiesWith over 300+ Building, Action, Quest cards, Festivals, and Upgrades, the combinations are endless. You might build an eco-friendly green paradise in one run, and an industrial powerhouse in the next.
Various building cards to build your city from the ground up

🚨 Three Strikes, You're Out!The stakes are real. Failing to manage your stats or resolve disasters results in a Red Alert. Accumulate three Red Alerts, and it’s Game Over. Can you beat your high score before the city folds?🏙️ Roguelite FunWith different upgrades, random festivals, disasters, and quests; each run is different! Try to beat your high score each time and unlock even more random stuff such as new building cards, festivals, cosmetics and even resources!
