Sign in to your TheGamer account If you're into trading cards, then you'll know that it's a ruthless business. Pokemon cards have people brawling in supermarkets, and Magic: The Gathering has a massive scalper problem, making actually getting product borderline impossible. Unsurprisingly, the new Palworld TCG is running into the same problems. Ever since the official Palworld TCG launched a couple of weeks ago, actually getting your hands on any of them has proved challenging. That's mostly thanks to high demand and scalping, the latter of which is becoming more of a problem as individual cards are being sold for thousands on resale sites like Ebay. You know, typical TCG problems. Palworld TCG Creators Have A Plan To Get Cards Into The Hands Of Fans Thankfully, developer Bushiroad has acknowledged the current supply problem (thanks Automaton), apologizing to fans on Twitter that have struggled to get booster packs for the Dawn of Palpagos set. In the tweet, it's explained that the team is "internally discussing measures" to try and get more packs into the hands of fans. "We would like to sincerely apologize to all of you who have been eagerly awaiting the product, as we are currently experiencing a continued shortage, making it difficult for many to obtain the item," reads the post. "At present, we are internally discussing measures to ensure that more of you can receive the product. We will provide further updates on our response in the near future."On top of that, the Japanese version of Dawn of Palpagos is now being sold out of its shrink wrap in Japan, a common tactic that stores are deploying to try and ruin a product's resale value and combat scalpers. Whether that tactic will make its way to the West, we'll have to wait and see, but hopefully these "measures" will help alleviate some of the supply problems for the future.

The game is very similar in nature to the Pokemon formula, tasking you with catching and working with monsters called Pals. There are key differences, though. Palworld is rooted in multiplayer, oh, and, unlike Pokemon, its Pals have guns.
