Greater Fool

Pump worthless stocks, ride the multiplier, and cash out before the crash. A market-manipulation roguelike about greed, timing, and finding someone dumber to hold the bag. There's always a greater fool, right up until it's you.

About the Game

GET IN EARLY. GET OUT RICH. GET AWAY CLEAN.

You're not an investor. You're the reason the chart moves.

Pick a garbage stock, stake your bankroll, and pump it. Every pump climbs your multiplier and cranks the bust risk, printed in plain numbers right on the button. Cash out a second early and you leave money on the table. A second late and you are the money on the table. Every bust is your own greedy fault, because the cash out button was right there the whole time.

THE CLIMB

Survive 8 markets, each with a profit quota that comes due. Between rounds you hit the back room: hire crew whose powers run permanently, stack your deck with dirtier pump cards, scout new stocks. Boss rounds bend the rules against you. The PUMP POLICE disable your basic pump. The AUDITOR taxes anything above 3x. MARGIN CALL forces you to bet big whether you like it or not. Bank profit past the quota and the house tips you extra for the greed.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

* 5 playstyles with their own starting decks, from the risk allergic GHOST to the DEGEN and its multiplier bombs

* 72 crew members to hire and combo into something broken

* 15 bosses that each break the game a different way

* Contracts: optional side bets that pay out if you work under their conditions

* Endless mode with no finale and no mercy

* The Daily: one shot, same market as everyone else playing that day

* 12 challenge runs built to break the rules on purpose

* Achievements, earned titles, a full trader wardrobe, and a collection codex

* 14 original chiptune tracks, plus music that reacts to how hot your trade is running

WHY "GREATER FOOL"

The greater fool theory says it doesn't matter that what you're holding is worthless. You profit as long as a greater fool buys it from you at a higher price. Every pump in this game is that bet. Cash out and you found your fool. Bust, and the fool was you.

A FROG LABS game.
