Hey Mayors,
Thank you so much for 100,000 Downloads!
We keep saying we are done updating the game and it's complete, but your love keeps making us come back and we have a new update on the way for you!
Before we jump into that, we'd also like to announce Cardboard Town is joining Steam City Builders & Colony Sim Fest with our deepest discount!

And talking about city builders, in case you missed them, just letting you know that we have a lot of them:
Stellar Settlers - A Space Colony Builder
Mini City: Mayhem - A hectic, cute town builder
Hexaroma - Chill village builder
Kingdom's Deck - An upcoming deck / castle builder

You can get them as a bundle and save, don't forget to wait for the festival to start for a better discount!
Booster Pack Update is on the Way!

Our next (and maybe really final this time?) update is called
The Booster Pack Update. We are working on it to release as a free update on June 8th, 2025.
Upon completing Star Quests in a run, you'll be able to choose a booster pack that - obviously - includes some random cards in a theme.
Examples:
Housing Pack: Get 3 random population buildings.
Essentials Pack: Get 3 basic resource buildings.
Luxury Pack: Get 2 buildings that cost $7 or more.
This will give you some control on what type of cards you want to add to your hand while keeping the fun randomness of Cardboard Town.
Other Ways To Get Booster Packs in a Run:
We'll have some new action cards that generate booster packs. However, to combat deck bloat, those cards will need you to destroy some existing cards first!
Remember that Discard and Destroy are different mechanics and destroying a card permanently removes that card from that run (but of course you find / obtain that same card again later on)
Resealing: Destroy 3 Cards. Get a random booster pack.
Unhinged Trading: Destroy all cards in your hand. Get 2 random booster packs.
A New Building:
We've talked about how you can't open booster backs freely with too many cars in hand, so we have a new building to help you get rid of a card to make some room.
Memorial Park: Destroy a card to play, gain some Environment.
We are also planning on a Booster Pack Factory building which needs a lot of resources but generate you a booster pack.
That's mostly it for the June 8th Booster Pack Update, do you like it? Do you have ideas? Do you want anything else? Please do let us know and maybe we can make it happen!!
Thanks for reading Mayors, see you on the festival!
