Generate and collect thousands of cards. Hunt the ultra-rares almost no one will ever own. Every card rolls two independent rarities, so there are 1,000 normal cards and 1,000 holographic Shinies to chase, 2,000 in all. The rarest are rarer than 1 in a million to pull. And every card has a 1 in 50 shot at being Shiny. GENERATE & DISCOVER Create new cards on a timer, then watch each one reveal. The rarity climbs as the card comes into focus, and the rarer it lands, the bigger the moment. HUNT SHINIES Every Shiny is holographic and 50 times rarer than its normal version. Completing the Shiny set is the ultimate flex. BID, DEAL & SELL Outbid real players in live auctions to snag the cards you're missing, grab limited daily deals, and sell your spare eggs back to the game for coins.

Great work Carl ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-08-13* I played this so much, this might actually be better than 1 in a trillion to be honest. I feel like this game needs updates to make it even better, but I couldn’t think of anything. Just saying how perfect this game is! Worth 5 stars ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-07-29* Wish it was a little faster paced but I don’t think it’s worth less than 5 stars ### 5/5 — This game is amazing *2026-07-26* The only feedback I have is the market. You should make it so you are paired up with people who have a similar collection lvl meaning they will likely have the same amount of coins. The reason I say this is because most of the time there’s just a rich player who buys every card at a crazy price. Great game though **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback and lovely review, here’s some good luck 🍀🙏 ### 2/5 — Incredibly boring after a week *2026-07-02* This game isn’t a game. It’s a button that you click every hour to get a card. Beyond that you do pretty much nothing; there’s a small amount of other content but it really isn’t enough to make spending time on this app fun. When you play a game, you’re supposed to get better at it over time—you get upgrades, or your skill increases, or something like that to make the core gameplay loop easier. This has none of that. It’s basically TCG pocket with way less to do. Do not recommend. ### 5/5 — Long time player *2026-06-24* About 3 years ago I downloaded a game by the developer and played it on and off for that whole time, that game was incredible but not my style. The dev listened to many players about the difficulties of that game and made this one which works so much better for me and a couple other people. That just goes the show the relationship the community has with the creator. Get the game **Developer response:** Aww that’s lovely to hear, thank you for the review 🙏 ### 5/5 — Like the stock market but fun *2026-05-28* I’ve only had the app for a day but I already love it! I’ve been a big fan of their other game, One in a Trillion, and wanted to check out this one as well once it came out. Bringing this up first to intrigue people: there’s no ads in the game! Nothing that just pops up when you’re in the middle of something or putting certain things behind an ad or even annoying banner ads on the screen. There are micro transactions available, but the game does not try to force them at all nor does it lock anything behind a paywall. They aren’t pay to win either, just stuff like gems to speed things up. I really like this way of doing transactions; I want people who actually put effort into their apps / games to make money, and doing so while offering a great experience is the ideal way to do so! The game itself shares a similar theme of building collections of eggs / cards through random chance when playing, but this game is very unique. It definitely feels a little more calm, and is a great one to occasionally open up without needing to be on it for a long period of time to get enjoyment or progress. You just get a roll every hour to make a new card with random rarity chances in order to build up your collection. You can also merge cards to get better rarities so you’re not stuck with a bunch of basic cards and struggling to get the better ones. A cool feature is the market where you can sell cards you have (for in-game currency, not real). You can buy from other people to get specific cards you may be needing. The cards always go for auction, which is both interesting but sometimes a little annoying when it feels like everyone else has so much more coin to bid; I did just start though, so I don’t have too much yet, but honestly I’ve been making coin pretty quick, so it doesn’t feel like you have to grind, especially as you complete daily quests for coin / gem rewards and start selling more cards. It really does feel like a lite version of the stock market, just a lot more fun and you don’t lose your money. I highly recommend this as a very casual but engaging and enjoyable game to enjoy! **Developer response:** Thank you for the lovely review 🙏 great to hear your thoughts on it! ### 5/5 — Fun and Casual ! *2026-05-19* I've been having a blast checking in, doing some battles, and hoping for some rare cards! I really enjoy this sort of passive grind for cards, but I've also been enjoying buying/auctioning cards I don't have This is definitely the kind of game I think everyone should be picking up; it's easy to get into and keeps you coming back for more **Developer response:** Thank you for the lovely review, I appreciate it! 🙏 ### 5/5 — Amazing Game *2026-05-18* One word: Shinies **Developer response:** Shinies! ✨ ### 5/5 — Really fun game *2026-05-18* This game has only been out for a day, but I already love it. There are no ads which is very good. I also like the style and the gameplay where you generate cards and try to get rare ones. I just wish there were more ways to get blue gems. pro club on top C42GKL Pls use my invite code R4QFFD so we both can get 1000 coins **Developer response:** Thanks for the review, use their code haha ☝️ ## Frequently asked questions about Shellkeep ### What is Shellkeep: Card Collector?
