How to Play
A short field guide for surviving 100 days in the dry herb vape market. Read what's useful, ignore the rest, then go beat your high score.
Quick start
One run. After day 100 your inventory is liquidated at current prices and a final score is calculated.
Core loop
Buy low
Each device has a hidden base price. When the market price dips below base, that's your window to stock up.
Sell high
When the price spikes above base, dump inventory back into cash. The arrow indicator and percent show you the swing at a glance.
Random events
Each new day rolls a chance for a market boom, crash, windfall, or quieter promotion. They can swing prices fifty percent or more, in either direction.
Price tracking
Each card shows the current price, base price, and percent change. Use the percent column to spot the best swings without doing math in your head.
Pro strategies
- Diversify. Spread capital across price tiers so a single bad event doesn't wipe out the run.
- Mind the threshold. Twenty percent below base is a strong buy zone. Fifteen percent above base is a respectable sell.
- Premium tier, premium swings. High-value devices have bigger absolute gains, but they tie up more capital and amplify losses on a crash day.
- Keep dry powder. Hold reserve cash for the days after a market crash. That is when the cheapest inventory of the run shows up.
Controls
