Amiibo Cards
One of the major functions of the Amiibo Cards in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is to invite villagers to visit your islands. The players, however, will need to construct the campground on the island for the villagers to visit. The players can convince the villagers to stay on their islands for a while and with some special characters, they can also convince them to become permanent members.
To use these Amiibo cards, the players need to head to Resident Services once the Townhall is unlocked.
The players will be able to spot an ATM-like machine that will allow them to use their cards.
Hamlet has only one Amiibo card in the game right now:
