Dope Trader

Dope Trader is a turn-based commodity trading game. You play the role of a drug dealer in debt. You have one month to trade drugs and repay your debt. One day passes when you travel to a new location. Each day prices fluctuate due to market demand and random events.

The game is inspired by the 1984 classic by John Dell, "Drug Wars".
