Dry Powder

Game premise and mechanics

Dry Powder is a turn-based investing game designed for PC. You start with an initial amount of money and a goal, competing against six AI players. Each turn, you purchase shares, bonds, and property while navigating the cycles of the economy, which includes phases like boom and bust. Your goal is to manage your investments strategically as the economy fluctuates, trying to predict when to sell or hold your assets.

Investment options

You can invest in three primary asset types: stocks, bonds, and property. Stocks offer high growth potential but come with high risk. Bonds are a safer investment that typically perform well during economic downturns. Property generates steady rental income and can be purchased outright or financed with a mortgage. The challenge lies in knowing which assets to prioritize and when to make your moves.
