GAME MECHANICS<br>>Spellfolio contains various systems that unlock as the game progresses. Here's what awaits you:

Premonitions<br>Glimpse the future. Receive secret visions of upcoming news to front-run the market before anyone else knows.

Player Roles<br>Draft powerful, temporary advantages at the start of each month to break the rules in your favor.

Bear Funds<br>Bet against the board. Found short-selling funds through blind auctions to profit massively when a target stock crashes.

Stability Bonds<br>Low-risk investments providing steady monthly returns, boosted by owning sponsor company shares.

GTX Fund<br>An elite, restricted fund yielding 25% annually, earned only by winning Year-End Awards.

Wizard Hire<br>Deploy arcane interference. Sabotage competitors by artificially inflating or crashing asset prices outside of normal logic.

Dividend Advisory<br>Secretly advise corporate boards on dividend sizes to benefit your portfolio or enable a short play.

Loans<br>Take out cash loans to leverage your trading positions and seize fleeting market opportunities.

THE MONTHLY LOOP<br>>The market operates on a strict monthly schedule. Master the phases of the trading cycle to outmaneuver your rivals.<br>Matches are played over a set number of months (20 by default). The player with the highest net worth at the end wins.

Phase 1 // Setup<br>Roles & Premonitions<br>The month begins in secret. Powerful roles are dealt, psychic visions are revealed, and hidden corporate agendas are locked in.

Phase 2 // Trading Window A<br>Market Open<br>Early earnings and the first major news stories hit the wire. The market opens. Execute your trades based on your secret intel.

Phase 3 // Intermission<br>Market Shift<br>Dividends are declared and new story developments shift market momentum before the final trading window.

Phase 4 // Trading Window B<br>The Climax<br>Late-breaking news drops and wizard interference strikes. Your final chance to execute trades before the month closes.

Phase 5 // Post-Market<br>Settlement<br>The month concludes. Payouts from dividends and bonds settle, asset prices correct toward their true underlying value, and the cycle repeats.

How to start a game

01<br>Create a Room<br>Spin up a private lobby and set your trading rules. Learn the ropes in the interactive tutorial, then jump into a live match.
