The system is gated by Crystals and Reputation currencies, with a 1,000-crystal achievement as the long-tail goal. Selling cards is irreversible, so build the deck before spending.Anime Shop Simulator Co-Op Multiplayer Setup — Invite, Roles, and PvPAnime Shop Simulator co-op multiplayer on Steam (AppID 3393280) supports up to four players in an online shop session.
