Quick answer
Retail games are wallet-sized card games sold individually, often in clear sleeves with full game details on the back. They are not expansions and are ready to play out of the package.
How retail games differ from expansions
Retail games are standalone wallet games that include everything you need to play. Expansions, on the other hand, add content to an existing base game and are not sold to retailers in the same way. If you see a game listed under "Retail Games," it is a complete experience, not an add-on.
What to expect from packaging
Button Shy retail games come in clear sleeves with the full game details printed on the back. This makes it easy to see the game components and rules at a glance. The packaging is minimal and wallet-friendly, designed for portability.
Retail games FAQ
What is a retail game?
A retail game is a complete, standalone wallet game sold individually. It is not an expansion and includes all cards and rules needed to play.
How do I play a retail game?
Open the clear sleeve, read the rules printed on the back (or included insert), shuffle the cards, and follow the game-specific setup and play instructions. Most wallet games play in 15-30 minutes. Check the back of the sleeve for quick-start rules before looking for a separate rulebook.
Can I buy expansions from the retail section?
No. The retail section only offers wallet games. Expansions are listed separately and are not available to retailers through this collection. If you need an expansion, look under the "Expansion for wallet game" category instead.
Will the same games always be available?
No. The retail collection changes as games sell out and new ones are added. Availability is not guaranteed, so check back often if you are looking for a specific title. Bookmark the retail page and check periodically for new arrivals.

Retail Games (PLEASE READ NEW REQUIREMENTS BELOW): Welcome to our currently available retail collection! The games here will change as we make more games available and others sell out. Generally only wallet games are available to retailers and expansions are not offered. This means the retail selection rotates, so if you see a game you like, it is best to grab it before it sells out. You will not find expansions in this section.
