What a ghost card does
Ghost cards are kept as their own kind of record, with a name and a monster.
A ghost card in TCG Card Shop Simulator is not just a rarity label: the game keeps ghost cards as their own kind of record with a name, a monster and one effect that changes how the shop behaves.

In play
A ghost card is its own kind of thing. The game keeps ghost cards as a separate record with a name, a monster attached to it and an effect, so it is not simply a rarer ordinary card.
The effect is the point of it. A ghost card is worth having because of what its effect does to the shop, and the game keeps a fixed list of those effects rather than inventing a new one for every card.
The effects reach across the business. The list covers how much money you make, how much fame you gain and how many points you earn, as well as how long a play table takes, which is why one card can change several parts of the shop at once.
Several effects are about customers. The list includes doubling a customer's chance, raising how much they are willing to spend and improving the odds of a collector turning up, including the better collector kinds.
Others are about what you pull and what you can charge. Foil chance sits on the list, as does overcharging on particular packs and boxes, which is why the right ghost card can raise the value of what you already sell.
Booster effects are kept in a list of their own, covering things like higher prices, higher customer spend and buy limits, and more pack storage.
What this entry does not tell you: how much any effect adds, how many ghost cards exist, or how one is obtained. We have not verified those numbers, so we do not print them.
