Developer Jago Studios has teamed up with The Topps Company to produce a new title based on the notorious 80s Garbage Pail Kids trading card and sticker series – and, yes, it’s a free-to-play mobile game.
Regrettably, not a lot has been revealed about the game itself just yet, other than that it’s a “card-collecting role-playing game” that will see players “virtually battling” with cards from the original 1980s Garbage Pail Kids line-up, as well as the more contemporary card series.
For those unfamiliar with the Garbage Pail Kids craze of the mid-1980s, the phenomenally popular trading cards spoofed another bona fide, if inevitably short-lived, cultural phenomenon of the time: Cabbage Patch Kids dolls.
