Wheel Street

THE MARKET IS A CASINO. Wheel Street is a single-player financial roguelike deckbuilder played on a circular board. Read the week ahead, manipulate your assets, and assemble strategy-card combos that turn every market swing into increasingly absurd returns. READ THE MARKET BEFORE IT MOVES At the beginning of each week, the full five-day market outlook is revealed. Land on an asset during an up day to cash in its current value. Hit it during a down day to double its value for the future. The market is not hiding anything from you—the challenge is arranging the board so that you are always in the right place at the right time. Grow during the downturn. Cash out during the rise. CONTROL THE BOARD Each day, choose from three movement cards. Use one to move your pawn clockwise around the board, or spend your cards to reposition the assets themselves. Move assets into empty spaces, merge matching sectors to combine their value, or swap different assets to reshape the board. Every position affects what you pass, where you land, and which effects will trigger. Luck determines your options. You decide how to exploit them. BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO Collect assets from technology, crypto, consumer goods, commodities, real estate, and banking. Concentrate assets from the same sector to activate unique abilities, including dividends, sector rotation, leverage, futures, location bonuses, and compound interest. Then add strategy cards that bend the rules of growth and settlement. Combine their conditions, control their trigger order, and create profitable chain reactions. INVEST OR CASH OUT? Your wallet is both your score and your spending power. Investing in new assets can make your portfolio stronger, but every purchase also takes money away from your current weekly target. Decide when to reinvest, when to save, and when to push your luck for one more explosive payout. Meet the target to advance, earn tokens, and visit the shop. Fall short, and the run is over. EVERY RUN IS A NEW MARKET Randomized starting assets, market patterns, card choices, and shop offerings turn every run into a new strategic puzzle. Build around the opportunities you are given, discover unexpected combinations, and see how far your portfolio can climb before the market finally catches up with you. - Circular-board movement and asset positioning - Roguelike card and portfolio building - Fully visible market cycles - Six asset sectors with unique synergies - Strategy-card combos and chain reactions - Escalating weekly cash targets - Randomized runs with high replayability No investment experience required.
