DRUG WARZ
Buy low. Sell high. Survive.

01
How a run goes
Every game starts the same way. Where it ends is up to you.
01
Day 1: you owe Vinnie
You start with $2,000, a switchblade and a $5,500 debt at 10% a day. Vinnie wants it by day 11. Vinnie is not patient.
02
Buy low, sell high
Every city remembers its prices, so a cheap market usually stays cheap for a few days. Tags tell you what's a steal and what's a trap. Purity changes what your product sells for.
03
Something happens most nights
A deal that's too good to be true. A door kicked in at 3 AM. A reporter asking around. Every choice shows its odds — and some of them come back days later.
04
Build an empire
Ally with the plugs, buy them out or take their city by force. Own all eight and you're Kingpin. By then you're borrowing from a dictator and paying a private army.
02
What's in the game
Lenders that climb with you
From a neighborhood shark to a faceless private fund, a president-for-life and a cartel boss richer than you. Bigger loans, worse collectors.
Plugs and territory
Eight suppliers in eight source cities. Build trust, get product fronted, then buy them out or betray them.
Fights you can read
See your odds before you swing. Attack, take cover, run, bribe or hand over the stash. Hire security when the hit squads get serious.
A crew that might rob you
Runners sell while you travel. The bigger the pile of cash they're holding, the more tempting it is to disappear.
A burner phone
Everything that happens lands in your feed, grouped by day, so you always know how you got here.
03
Small, fast, tested
No framework, no install, no account. The whole game is plain TypeScript that runs in your browser, and every balance change is checked against thousands of simulated games before it ships.

From the blog
How the game is made, why it changes, and what the numbers say.
A playtester made $2 million and was bored. Here's what we did about it.
Seven months after the last update, Drug Warz got its biggest rework yet: a city that decides when to push back, a ladder of lenders that ends with a cartel boss richer than you, fights you can read, and a game rebuilt for the phone in your hand.
Why you couldn't cool off — and the fix that let wounds heal
Two thousand more simulated games showed that heat still only went one way, every scratch was permanent, and the bank couldn't keep up. v0.5 fixes all three, and rebuilds the market's buy buttons.
We played a million games so you wouldn't die in ten minutes
Drug Warz used to kill almost everyone. To find out why, we taught ten bots to play it, ran a million games overnight, and let the data rewrite the rules.
Vinnie's waiting.
One tap and you're on the street. Your progress saves on your device.
