How it feels
A chill, card-driven city builder where you lay down cardboard buildings and handle random events to beat your high score run after run.

What players say
Players are split on Cardboard Town. Some describe it as a relaxing deck-building survival game, while others find it frustrating due to slow pacing, unbalanced mechanics, and a heavy reliance on luck. A common complaint is that what looks like a city builder is actually a resource management puzzle with repetitive cards and limited creative control.
