About the Game

Trade Rivals - Goblin Age now supports Single Player Mode! 🎉

We've heard your feedback, and now you can enjoy the full goblin trading chaos, even when playing solo. Challenge AI-driven rivals, master your pricing strategies, and experience the unpredictable economy without needing other players.

  • Play solo or multiplayer,

  • Practice strategies at your own pace,

  • Experience new balance improvements & bug fixes

Whether you want to sharpen your skills or enjoy a goblin shop rivalry on your own, this update makes Trade Rivals more accessible than ever.

Welcome to Trade Rivals – Goblin Age

A chaotic 2–4 player competitive shop management game where gutsy pricing, clever shelf setups, and sneaky sabotage are your weapons in the market war.

Core Loop: 10 Days of Goblin Mayhem

Each run begins with randomized economic scenarios that shift product prices and stock levels. Every day, players have limited time to:

  • Purchase products from the supplier

  • Strategically place shelves

  • Set competitive prices

  • Gamble at the Wheel of Chance for risky bonuses

  • Prepare for customers in real time

Once players flip their signs, sales begin: customers flow in, grab what they want, and check out at your register—fast hands and calm nerves win gold.

KEY FEATURES

Sabotage & Fountain of Luck

A crime syndicate has infiltrated the city. With a bit of coin, they’ll “redecorate” your rivals' shops, steal their goods, or drain their pockets. Fair, right?

A cheeky little fountain fairy now grants you 3 chances per day — buff your shop, debuff your rivals, run like Sonic, or slow others like turtles!

End-of-Day & Witch Cards

At the end of each day, players:

  • Review profits and reputation gains

  • Choose from 3 mysterious Witch Cards: blessings or curses
    (e.g., price hikes, shelf buffs, stealing rival fame)

Each card can turn the tides—a well-timed curse could ruin a rival’s empire.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Smart, fast-paced economic decisions

  • Real player interactions: price wars, sabotage, psychological mind games

  • Daily randomness keeps each session fresh

  • Bizarre goblin world filled with charm and chaos

Trade smart. Hex hard. Rule the goblin market.

This is not capitalism. This is survival.
