A concept that will attract enthusiasts of Warhammer and D&D
The main idea revolves around ** complete management of a specialized shop ** in board games and figurines. You don’t just sell products like an automaton, no. You really have to understand your customers, organize events and create an atmosphere that makes players want to come back.
What I particularly like is that the developers have thought of the real lovers of tabletop gaming. You can keep some figurines for your personal collection, paint them carefully, then decide if you keep them or if you sell them at increased prices. This mechanics perfectly reproduce the real experience of passionate collectors.
The demo allows you to discover the ** first crucial steps **: Install your shop, order your first packs of figurines and make your first sales. This is enough to understand if the gameplay will keep you going, but frustrating enough to make you want the full version.

In the final version, you will not be condemned to manage everything alone as a madman. The system of Recruitment of employees will allow you to delegate certain repetitive tasks to focus on strategy and expansion. It is intelligent because it avoids the tedious side which can sometimes spoil this kind of simulators.
The inventory is not limited to basic figurines. You will also have to manage rulespaintings, accessories and these famous mysteries packs that make all collectors salivate. This diversity promises a complex and strategic management which should satisfy even the most demanding players.

Tournaments and challenges that spice up experience
What really distinguishes this simulator is the ** Tournaments in head ** against your customers. You do not just sell, you actively participate in the community you create. These clashes add a social and competitive dimension that often lacks in this type of game.
The game evenings promise to be a real plus to create an authentic atmosphere. Organize regular events, manage rivalries between players, create a user -friendly atmosphere … All this contributes to reproducing the minds of the real specialized shops frequented by enthusiasts.
I must admit that this approach seduces me completely. Rather than staying in a purely mercantile logic, the developers understood that community aspect is essential in this universe. Steam regularly offers free games, but here we are dealing with something more ambitious than a simple temporary gift.
