Candlestick Coup

Candlestick Coup is a consortium strategy game built around sector candlesticks. You start with 1 billion in capital, compete against 7 rivals with distinct styles, and fight for net-worth rank across 12 rounds. Open by allocating funds across eight sectors: Tech, Energy, Healthcare, Finance, Consumer, Industrials, Defense, and Real Estate. Each round, read public news and private intel, then you have 90 seconds to trade and play cards. Capital orders cost no action points; cards do—use them to leak stories, steal intel, contaminate rivals, or counter their plays. Prices are not a straight line. Sentiment, sector contagion, retail flows, and leverage all print into the chart. Dump too hard and you smash the tape; miss a debt deadline and you get liquidated. Read the candles, time the move, stay half a step ahead—survive to the final bell with your fortune intact, and you are the God of K-Line.
