Trading Up TCG vs Pack Rip Tycoon

Trading Up is a collecting-and-economy game built around the best part of trading cards: tearing open a fresh pack and turning it over one card at a time. Two ways to play, and one permanent Binder to track your best pulls over time. CLASSIC MODE Buy a pack, rip it, and find out what you got. Six cards - three commons, two uncommons, and a rare or an ultra rare - with a 1% shot at a shimmering foil on any of them. New pulls go into your collection; extras become cash, at the shop's price rather than yours. - Rip packs. Every pack opens card by card, and the hit slot is always saved for last. - Sell your extras. The shop buys duplicates back at 75% of market value, and that spread is the thing that will bankrupt you. - Grade your best. Pay a fee, roll a PSA score. A 10 is a 5x payday and a 1 is a freak 10x jackpot, but anything from 2 to 7 is worth less than the card you put in. - Cash in bonuses. Complete an evolution line for a payout; complete a whole set for a much bigger one. Collect all 250 cards across five sets and you're a Master Collector. Fall below the price of the cheapest pack with no way left to raise it and you're tapped out. GAUNTLET MODE A roguelike run built from the same DNA as Classic Mode. Pick a Trainer, then push a growing Showcase past a rising Aura target - round after round, on a limited number of rips. Keep a pull to score it or sell it to fund the next; run out of rips below the bar and the run ends. - Earn a roster of six Trainers, each an archetype with its own five-skill graph, then clear a Hard tier run with them all to reveal a hidden seventh. - Attune Catalysts - run-long buff cards across six element lanes that stack into real builds. - Finish evolution lines in your Showcase for huge Aura multipliers. - Climb three difficulty tiers, each unlocked per Trainer, to a Collection Championship finale. - Win and choose a Foil Extended Art card - a full-bleed alternate illustration - as your prize. THE BINDER A permanent trophy case: one slot per Spryte, each holding the single most valuable copy you've ever owned - across every Classic and Gauntlet run. Where a run resets, the Binder only ever grows: pull a foil, land a PSA 10, claim some Extended Art, and the best copy is stamped in for good. UNLOCK THE FULL GAME - Set 1 - Emberfall is free to play in full in Classic Mode: rip, sell, grade and chase the set bonus across all 50 cards. One optional one-time purchase unlocks the other four sets, the 250-card finish and Gauntlet Mode - the only thing you can ever buy. - No ads, no tracking, no subscriptions. - No real-money packs and no gambling. You never spend real money on a random pull; the only currency inside the game is fictional. - No account, no sign-in, and no data collected. Your collection lives on your device and nowhere else. - Plays offline, on both iPhone and iPad.

Stream yourself ripping packs. Tap to dig through bulk. Rip a pack and watch it tear open. Pull something good and the chat notices. Sell it, grade it, or keep it — and slowly turn a folding table in a basement into a studio worth watching. EVERY COPY IS ITS OWN CARD Two Near Mint copies are not the same card. One has clean edges and a scuffed surface, the other the reverse. Centering, edges, corners and surface are tracked per copy, and you can see all of it before you decide what to do. RIP, GRADE, SELL, REPEAT Eighteen products across three lines — Normal, Vintage and Foreign. Bulk cards to sealed collections. Send a card off to be graded and get back a slab, or a lesson. Restore a beaten copy and find out whether it was worth the fee. THE PULL IS THE POINT Every so often, while you're digging, something turns up. It's a pack and you tear it open — most of the time it's nothing much. Sometimes it isn't. BUILD THE SHOP Hire an editor. Upgrade the room. Fill a shelf with cards that actually earn while you're away. Work your way from a basement to a penthouse, and take your collection with you. COLLECT THE BOXIES Cardboard creatures across three sets, in every rarity from common to chase. Battle with what you pull. There's one trophy you can't buy, watch an ad for, or luck into — you have to finish the whole thing.
