I froze inside a quiet shop when I realized a single card had slipped under the counter like a secret memo. My hands went to the shelf, and for a second the map of the Castle rewired itself. You will miss at least one if you rush—I’ve replayed these rooms until the hiding places stopped feeling accidental.
I write guides because I get lost the same way you do. Read fast, but not careless: a few seconds in the wrong corner costs you a whole set. If you bought Leaf It Alone on Steam for $15 (≈€14) the time you spend chasing these cards will repay itself in runs that feel cleaner and smarter.
Where are all the Castle cards in Leaf It Alone?
Start with the shop counter and work outward. I’m going to point you to each specific nook so you don’t double back later—think of this as following a trail of breadcrumbs, not hunting for a needle.

The Castle’s shelves are a library of tiny secrets. I’ll walk you room by room and tell you where to aim your cursor; these are the exact spots that stopped me on later runs and forced me to retrace my steps.
| Card No. | Location | Screenshot |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Located in the shop underneath the bottom shelf. |  |
| 2 | Check behind the shield of the squirrel. |  |
| 3 | Located near the exit of the armory by the stairs. |  |
| 4 | Go to the ruins and the card is on the wall near the barrels. |  |
| 5 | Go to the terrace and check one of the merlons. |  |
| 6 | The card is at the bottom of the beams in the Garden of Love. |  |
| 7 | Located in one of the columns in the Leaf Garden. |  |
| 8 | Go to the Throne Room and you’ll find it there. |  |
Do I need special items or moves to collect Castle cards?
No special ability is required—just thoroughness. Use the mini-map, check Moyens I/O and Reddit threads for exact screenshots, and if you play on Nintendo Switch or PC, pop into community Discord channels for coordinates that match your version.
How long will a full Castle sweep take?
If you move methodically expect 6–12 minutes for a clean run; fast players shave that down. The time saved by following a targeted route beats random wandering every session.

The Terrace and the Picnic feel casual until a missed card nags at you. Each merlon is a locked diary and one forgotten nook turns a perfect run into an annoying backtrack.
| Card No. | Location | Screenshot |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Go to the Garden, and then check the stairs. The card will be on the right side. |  |
| 2 | Once you reach the Temple, looking inside the railing. |  |
| 3 | You’ll find the card under the playful dog tunnel in the Dog Run region. |  |
| 4 | Located at the base of the wooden stand in the open area. |  |
| 5 | Go to the Playground, and check below the stairs. |  |
| 6 | You’ll find a tree in the Lanterns area. The card will be tucked on this tree. |  |
| 7 | Check the lamp in the Recreation area and you’ll find the card. |  |
| 8 | Check under the tree in the Picnic area. |  |
How do I find all Sakura cards?
Work outward from central landmarks: Garden stairs, Temple railing, Dog Run tunnel. If you prefer visual guides, Steam community screenshots and Moyens I/O’s galleries match the images above—Reddit maps pin coordinates if you want the fastest route.
Two things that save time: check low and check behind props. If you still miss one, paste the related screenshot into Discord or a Steam guide thread and ask for the frame number—someone will point it out faster than a solo search.
If you run this route once, then refine it with community tips on Reddit or Discord, how many more runs will you shave off your completion time?
