Games Like TICKER

Build a Deck. Manipulate the Market.

TICKER is a stock market roguelike deckbuilder where every trade, card, and market movement matters.

Build your deck, unlock new cards, and discover powerful synergies as you work toward a set of goals chosen for each run. Every card costs shares to play, forcing you to balance short-term power against the long-term value of your position.

Push the price higher, secure your profits, and try to extract every last bit of value from the market—but stay too long, and a sudden reversal can wipe out your gains.

Face a Simulated Market

The market is not a fixed sequence of scripted events. It reacts to a collection of interconnected parameters that can create quiet periods of sideways trading, explosive rallies, and desperate crashes.

Your cards directly influence this simulation. Change sentiment, manipulate supply, move shares between market participants, and create the conditions needed to execute your strategy.

You cannot fully control the market. You can only try to turn it in your favor.

Choose Your Playstyle

Unlock and master three distinct deck archetypes, each with its own cards, mechanics, orders, and progression tree.

Social Media

Build momentum, rally retail traders, register shares, and create powerful short squeezes. Turn collective enthusiasm into explosive price movements before the hype disappears.

Hedge Funds

Profit from falling prices, expand short positions, and earn money when your investments lose value. Apply pressure to the market and benefit from the chaos you create.

Buffetiers

Accumulate shares under favorable conditions, focus on long-term value, and build increasingly powerful positions. Patience and careful preparation can produce enormous returns.

Each archetype can also use universal Market Maker cards, allowing you to combine specialized strategies with flexible market manipulation tools.

Define the Challenge

Select goals at the beginning of each run and shape the difficulty around your preferred strategy. Pursue safer financial targets, attempt demanding deckbuilding restrictions, or take on archetype-specific challenges.

The harder the goals, the greater the potential rewards.
