TCG Card Shop Simulator is climbing the Steam charts with most enjoying building up a card store from scratch.
It is still in early access though, posing the question of if it is a free to play experience before the official 1.0 version releases.
Here, we’ll give you the answer to that question as well as more information around TCG Card Shop Simulator.
Is TCG Card Shop Simulator a free to play game?
Sadly, for those of you who want to jump into the full TCG Card Shop Simulator experience without paying a penny, you are going to be left wanting as the game is a paid release.
Yes, just like other early access titles, you will have to purchase it in order to play, even before it’s ‘official’ launch.
While you do have to pay for it, the game costs less that $15 at the time of writing, so it’s not exactly expensive considering the number of hours you can potentially sink into it.
Even though all of the above is true, there is a way you can access a portion of the game completely free of charge.
This is the TCG Card Shop Simulator: Prologue version and can be found by scrolling down on the official Steam store page.
You’re able to get accustomed to the core mechanics of the game in the Prologue but you will soon hit a progression ceiling after spending some time creating your store.
Think of TCG Card Shop Simulator: Prologue as a demo of sorts, giving you a taste before you drop your hard-earned cash on it.
