Within TCG Card Shop Simulator , two pack types stand out: Normal Packs and Destiny Packs . Both offer unique cards across a spectrum of rarities, making pack selection a strategic decision for collectors and shop owners alike.

These packs include the following card rarities:

1. Normal Packs
2. Destiny Packs

Cards found in these packs fall into distinct rarity categories based on their color coding:

• Basic: Blue-colored, the most common cards you start with.
• Rare: Yellow-colored, harder to find and more valuable.
• Epic: Pink-colored, significantly rarer with enhanced attributes or artwork.
• Legendary: Red-colored, extremely rare and highly sought after.
• Ghost Cards: Black-colored, the rarest with unique visuals and collectibility.

The game structures its card collecting around three main collections:

1. Tetramon Collection: Cards exclusively from Normal Packs, encompassing Basic through Legendary rarities.
2. Destiny Collection: Unique to Destiny Packs, these cards mirror rarity tiers but belong to a separate collection.
3. Ghost Collection: Rare Ghost cards are found in both Normal and Destiny packs, instantly recognizable by their mostly white backgrounds tinged with color.

1. Tetramon Collection:
   • These cards come from Normal Packs. The rarity of the card (Basic, Rare, Epic, or Legendary) doesn’t matter; they all belong to this collection.
2. Destiny Collection:
   • These cards are exclusive to Destiny Packs. Just like Tetramon, the rarity doesn’t affect their inclusion in the collection.
3. Ghost Collection:
   • Ghost cards are some of the rarest in the game. They can appear in either Tetramon or Destiny packs. You can recognize a Ghost card by its mostly white background with a splash of color.

Recognizing card rarity is essential for evaluating your collection’s worth and trading potential.
