About the game
What you do in a play session
Pasar is a simulation of a mini commodities stock market set in Indonesia, where players buy and sell food goods from a small market stall (warung). The game blends an engaging theme with core trading principles, offering a fun yet educational look at market dynamics. All players start with the same amount of capital and must decide how to invest. Turns are simultaneous: each round, a player rolls the die to shift prices across all goods on a single sliding scale. While all goods move together, each commodity carries a different risk profile, requiring strategic decisions on whether to buy, sell, or hold. The game is played over a set number of rounds, and the player with the most money at the end wins. With short playtimes, Pasar is designed to be played across multiple sessions, allowing players to test strategies and track whether they can consistently turn a profit.
