The Merchant
Manage a small 1-bit market stall! Use demand predictions at the start of each day to buy the correct amount of items to sell!
How to play:
- Check demand and buy stock accordingly, as the prices quadruple once the day begins. The more filled the bar, the more likely customers will order that item.
- Begin the day. Customers will order items and you must sell them the correct amount before sending them away. Customers will be sneaky and will not pay extra if you accidentally give them too much. They will not pay anything if you do not give enough.
- Repeat until the day is over! The stock demand will change, and you must once again update your stock and begin the day.

I like the strategy of planning your purchases! Very fun game. I do wish that buying your stock before the day starts could be done a bit quicker, like maybe having all the resources in a grid instead of needing to cycle through.
Thanks!
