Love the concept and ended up playing it way too long! :D
You really captured the vibe of how I imagine the stereotypical day of a successful day trader. trading the news, playing your cards right while listening to Japanese City Pop. :D

  I recognized this one 
As soon as the song started, I was hooked. My strategy was build a deck with lots of cashdash and fire sale cards, hodl circle and put my whole net worth into

triangle. then only buy/sell diamond for the rest of the run.

.  I had lots of +600k% buydiscounts or sales on the next trade. At a point i couldnt discard cards anymore because the numbers where so big that the ui expanded out of view to the left

My networth was this in the end.

I found a bug: selling x diamonds with bad news the next day, is playable when you have 0 diamonds and buys x diamonds with bad news tomorrow.

It was lots of fun, great game. contest winner imo :)

Wow thanks so much for playing and taking the time to write this out! I really appreciate it! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much and found some fun in the strategy. That's definitely the highest net worth I've seen, even amongst our play testing! Appreciate the bug report too, I've made a note to take a look at that. Stay tuned as we're looking into taking this game to the next level over the coming weeks/months. Thanks again!

my wealth was build on these cards :D 

one more suggestion: maybe add some kind of scaling penalty for buying too many cards because it felt like i could buy cards for years.

For our updates to this, we'll be redesigning from the ground up! We had a lot of (I think) really cool ideas we had to cut because of jam time limitations, a messy codebase with a bunch of limitations, and a lot of this sort of evolved as the week went on. We leaned towards making the cards too strong and making the shop cheap so that players could feel their deck was "broken" (in a good way) quickly and experience a lot of the cards since jam play sessions are usually short. We want to strike a "balanced challenge" for the redesign, something that lets you build crazy combos (such as the one you shared!) but not quite as often/easily. Think Slay the Spire, Monster Train, or Balatro. Thanks again for your comments and feedback!

Love to hear it! Follow me here on Itch or on BlueSky (@cinderous.bsky.social) for updates! We're still early in our planning, but I'm building out some tools to help expedite the card creation process so we can hit the ground running as soon as we solidify some core ideas around the game. We would love to have people like you engaged in the early versions to help guide the direction of the game!
