Action Cards

Action cards are extremely important for city development in Cardboard Town, so we decided to make them look like blackboards with a green color scheme. The drawings on them look just like chalk drawings, and we even added white marks to make them pop.

You can acquire the developments your city needs through these cards. However, don't forget that you may need to make sacrifices to obtain these cards or even play a coin toss to benefit from them. Additionally, some cards can be used to solve the troubles you encounter. You might want to save the cards instead of using them immediately. Be sure to think carefully about your choices and use the cards at the right time.
