Trading card fever grips Singapore

The New York-based studio, Orange Cap Games, has selected Singapore as the location for its inaugural Vibes pop-up, coinciding with the global launch of Vibes Set 3: Birb & Pengu on 18 June. This event, running from 14 to 30 June, is hosted by PlaySpace at 220 River Valley Road, a new enrichment venue in Singapore.

The pop-up marks the first physical retail activation for the Vibes trading card game, which has sold over four million cards worldwide since its debut in December 2024. The latest set, Birb & Pengu, introduces new card mechanics and ultra-rare Sketch cards, with only ten of each in existence. Singapore has been chosen as the Asia flagship market for this release, reflecting the city’s vibrant trading card community.

Gary Mao, co-founder of Orange Cap Games, expressed enthusiasm for the event, stating, “Singapore has one of the most passionate and knowledgeable card communities in Asia. It was the obvious choice for our first physical home.”

PlaySpace, co-founded by siblings Teri Tan and Titus Chia, is set to formally open in July 2026. The venue offers a variety of play experiences, from Lego and mechanical puzzles to board games, guided by a licenced early childhood educator. The pop-up event is free and open daily from 11am to 7pm, providing an opportunity for enthusiasts to engage with the Vibes community and explore the new card set.
