Pack tiers and what the names mean

Packs are a fixed list of named types rather than one generic product.

Packs in TCG Card Shop Simulator are not one product: the game keeps a fixed list of pack types running from a basic pack up through rare, epic and legendary, with its own packs for the later expansions.

In play

A pack is a named type rather than a generic wrapper. The game keeps a fixed list of pack types, which is why the stock you order is a particular pack and never just "a pack".

Packs come in quality tiers. The list runs from a basic pack through rare, epic and legendary, so the tier is part of what you are buying rather than something you only discover when you open it.

Later expansions get their own packs. The game names separate packs for its later sets instead of reusing the basic ones, which is why a new expansion brings new stock to order rather than only new cards.

The artwork follows the naming. The game ships pack images for each tier and each series, so what a pack looks like on the shelf is tied to which pack it actually is.

Boxes are a different purchase again. Card boxes carry their own records and can be stored, so buying in bulk is not the same action as buying single packs.

What this entry does not tell you: what a pack costs, the odds inside one, or how many cards it holds. We have not verified those numbers, so we do not print them.
