Camper Cards are a big change in the social interaction in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete. They function as personalized digital calling cards, making connecting and sharing information much easier. Unlike the previous friend system in the original Pocket Camp, Camper Cards provide a more streamlined and unique approach to interacting with other players' profiles and making friends.
This big shift removes the friend system from the original iteration.
