Anime Shop Simulator cards system is called Arcanis. You can order these cards from your computer, and once they arrive, you may sell or keep them for yourself. After a while, you will have an awesome collection to flaunt; you can also use them to play a game table. Keep reading to learn all about how it all works and what achievements you can get.
What You’ll Read:
What Is the Arcanis Card System
The card system here is called Arcanis. Officially, cards are one of three stockable products, shelved next to manga and figures. When you crack open an Arcanis booster, you either have to sell the pull for cash or keep it for your collection.
You can check your kept cards in a collection menu, and once you’ve got some, you can throw down at a dedicated game table for PvP battles, which is a separate fixture from the display stand you’d use to show off cards you’re not risking in a fight.
Six card leagues exist: Common, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond. Don’t mix these up with card rarity. Leagues rank your battle performance; they say nothing about how rare a card is.
Winning battles earns crystals, which is a currency tied to an official 1,000-crystal achievement. Tournament wins earn reputation, and five tournament wins unlock the Secret Shop, which is in the small alley next to the shop.
How to Unlock the Card System
You can’t touch a single card on day one! The whole system requires a gaming table, which unlocks at shop level 5. Paid shop expansion comes right after, at level 6. Get your retail side stable enough to hit level 5, and the full Arcanis loop opens up: boosters, the collection menu, and battles at the table.
How to Buy and Open Arcanis Boosters
You can order Boosters straight from the same product screen you use for manga and figures, which is in the Products section on your computer. Sealed packs are a fixed $5.33, and that price doesn’t follow the usual manual-pricing rules other stock does.
Opening packs is manual. You simply pick them up and click R to open them. A sealed pack sitting in inventory doesn’t count toward collection progress until you actually crack it open.
You can take the items for yourself straight from the package, or you can shelf them first, then take them off the shelf right in front of the customers, because this is your shop and you can do whatever you want.
How Card Battles Work
Battles run on nine-card decks. Each card’s Power stat does double duty as both damage and health, so a high-Power card hits harder and survives longer at the same time.
Landing an attack with a type advantage gives you a flat +2 bonus. This is a colour advantage, and I recommend building around two colours instead of chasing a mixed high-rarity deck.
Anime Shop Simulator Cards Achievements
There are two official achievements related to collection milestones: 100 unique cards get you “Card Collector Arc,” and 500 unique cards get you “The Legend of Cardmaster.” That’s a floor, not a total. A 500-card achievement proves at least 500 unique cards exist, not that the game has exactly 500.
Here’s the part to actually be careful with: Selling a card removes it from your collection entirely, first copy or not. So I recommend you keep your first copy of every card you pull instead of selling it. It costs you nothing to hold onto it, and it could save your progress toward those 100/500 milestones.

FAQ
Is Anime Shop Simulator the same as TCG Card Shop Simulator?
No. They’re separate games from separate developers. TCG Card Shop Simulator’s rarity tiers, drop rates, and set names don’t apply here at all.
