You know the dot-com crash is coming. You know 2008 will happen. You know exactly when to buy and when to run.The only question is whether you can turn $10,000 into $1 billion before the SEC catches up with you.How It WorksEach run spans two years of real market history. Your hedge fund boss sets escalating quarterly targets — $15K, $50K, $250K, all the way up to $1 billion. Miss a target and you're fired. Get too greedy and you're arrested.

I will edit this if changes are made Pros --Fun premise --Roguelike elements facilitate progression Cons --Unwieldly UI, with ZERO customization options --Prices do not accurately reflect historic prices, so it's difficult to actually plan a run --YOU CANNOT SHORT STOCKS ... Honestly, the whole premise of this game is built on the idea of profiting from financial crisis. This is an INTEGRAL financial tool that is NECESSARY for a game like this.9 found this helpful
Slow burn game as it takes time to unlock feature, but addictive once it gets going2 found this helpful
It's fun. It really puts into perspective how precise you have to be to meet ever-increasing targets1 found this helpful
