Cartel: Debt to Kingpin

Twenty cities, ten cartels, one rank that matters.

You are a new face with a debt, a plane ticket and the nerve to use both. Cartel is a modern-day crime trading game: buy where it is cheap, sell where it is dear, and stay one step ahead of the law.

• Twenty real cities. Fly, take the train or hit the road. Every city has its own prices, its own cartel and its own police.
• A living market. Prices move every minute, drift with the news and react when you trade.
• Six police blocs and one bureau. They share files across borders. Heat tells you how loud each trade is.
• Banks and cards. Clean your money, park it and earn on it, from your first card to the Black card.
• Eight ranks, fifty levels. Earn Rep, pay what you owe and climb from Lookout to Kingpin.
• Seasons and boards. Every season the boards reset and the race starts again.

Learn it in ten minutes. Spend a season mastering it.

This is a beta: you are among the first in, and what you tell us shapes what we build next.

Cartel is a work of fiction and a trading simulation for adults (18+). The cities are real; the businesses, banks, agencies and people are not. Nothing in the game is advice or instruction.
