No.

There's a version of this which is good, but this isn't it.

OK, first, it isn't an idle game. Like, yes, you idly get currency, but that's not really the obstacle here; at least for the early tiers, you'll get enough income quickly enough to more than balance out the costs. No, the obstacle to progress is the time is spent on clicking the Roll Cards buttons and waiting for the animation to play out over and over and over and over, and there's no automation here, you just have to sit and click. Even fast animation speed doesn't really help.

That could be fine as well if there was some actual gameification here, but there isn't. There isn't any way to shift the odds in your favour. Your income (idle and clicks) increases as you get cards... any cards at all... But that's all and, again, that isn't really the issue.

Actually, strike that; while none of that is the issue early on, it will become a massive issue later. The cost to roll for each tier is 10x the cost of the previous one, but the odds of actually getting cards drops each time, and the income from cards in each tier definitely doesn't balance out to manage that. That means that, after the first two tiers, you'll stall; money comes in too slow to make many attempts at higher tiers, and there's no way to increase it enough to make them viable. And because each roll takes time, there's a hard cap to how many rolls you can make in lower tiers to try and creep that income up.

Nah. This is the grindiest of grinds, with the barest of returns. It's not even a game, really.

Talk to me when there's automation for roll attempts, and some way to "spend" duplicate cards to improve your odds, and maybe we'll have something here worthy of investigation. As it is, the only appeal here is going to be to the most addiction-prone of gamers, and those are exactly the people that should stay away from this pointless unfun time-sink.

Warning: In-Game Cash Shop

This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop. You will be prompted to and expected to give money/credit card details to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.


"Cards!" is another disgusting clicker scam game like "banana". Effectively a blockchain/NFT game, but abusing the Steam Marketplace instead of some other blockchain/wallet system... the end result is the same, this isn't a real game, it's just dumped on Steam to scam PC gamers through the Steam Marketplace. It has no value as a serious game, you just click stuff in the hopes an "NFT" marketplace item drops so the developer can get paid for the sale... and of course so the developer can sell ones that he's farmed up himself.

So while this looks "free", it's only superficial. The real purpose for this game is for the developer to farm and exploit Steam Inventory items that drop through the game. They can then sell these items in bulk on the Steam Community Marketplace. This kind of Steam abuse, combined with a minimum-viable-product non-game, does no service to gamers whatsoever.

This is pollution... it's harmful to everyone. It hurts genuine indie devs, who have to compete with this pollution to get visibility for their sincerely made games. It makes indie devs look bad. It makes it harder for gamers to find those genuinely made games. It's designed to prey on gamers and manipulate the Steam Community Marketplace to the detriment of all.

Avoid this at all costs.
