Open packs, chase rare cards and build a collection across a living football world. Form, transfers and entire careers reshape what collectors want season after season. THE HOBBY: CARD CAREER A premium, single-player football card collecting game built for collectors. Start with a hobby budget and build a collection across a persistent football world. Every footballer has a simulated career. Every card records a moment in it. The players you collect can develop, find form, transfer, win honours, decline and retire. Their changing careers affect which cards collectors want and what the simulated market will pay. OPEN AND COLLECT Buy sealed packs and boxes from seven distinct product families, open them by hand, keep them sealed for later, or join simulated box breaks. Collect base cards, inserts, rookie cards, autographs and numbered parallels down to one-of-one. Every release has a finite print run. Products sell out, cards move into collections, and past seasons remain available through a historical release archive with whatever supply is left. FOLLOW THE CAREERS Look beyond the card face. Follow each player’s form, minutes, development, transfers, season record and long-term career. Public scouting provides ranges and confidence, never a hidden number that tells you the answer. Some prospects become stars. Some established names fade. A card pulled early in your career can mean something completely different many seasons later. READ THE MARKET Buy and sell on a market populated entirely by simulated collectors. List a card, wait for an offer, sell to a dealer when you want immediate in-game cash, or keep holding. Prices react to performance, development, transfers, awards, scarcity and retirement. BUILD A COLLECTION WITH A HISTORY Complete sets, chase parallels, hold old sealed products and follow the cards you care about. The game remembers the cards you kept, your biggest pulls, the sales you made and the decisions that shaped your collector record throughout an ongoing career. ONE COMPLETE GAME Paid once. No advertising, no in-app purchases and no subscription. No account is required. Core gameplay, saves and simulation work offline. Every footballer, club, competition, card, product, price and unit of currency is fictional and exists only inside your save. Nothing can be bought, sold or exchanged for real-world value. iPhone.
