I created a free-to-play digital card game that everyone should try out. It’s basically Magic / Hearthstone / Pokémon / Yu-Gi-Oh!, but finance themed.
I originally made it as a physical card game for a risk management class I teach at UIowa. However, it was way too complicated for students to learn and play in an hour, so I vibe-coded a digital version.

If anyone stuck in an airport wants something fun to do!

Getting a notification about a completely meaningless trade in your fantasy league:
The biggest difference in gameplay between this and similar style games is that getting big / ramping also increases how exposed you are to damage, so you want to manage how quickly you build out your funding.
The game also focuses a lot on deck building and finding combos of cards that act as natural hedges for each other. For example, life insurance is exposed to mortality stress tests (like covid) but annuities hedge against it so, if you have an equal number of each, mortality stress tests won't damage you at all (though other things like interest rates may).

If you want a custom campaign for a class you teach, you should check out the samples and email [email protected] with what you teach and what you’d like students to learn.
If you’re an academic or work in finance and want your own card in the game, email [email protected].

I'm surprised I even have to write this, but here we go. I have a PSA.
If you are applying to economics PhD programs, please do not email individual faculty members. They do not admit their own students, and reaching out to them is pointless.
Eight years ago we were told that penalties can be called on fouls on a player in an offside position if the foul happens before he makes a play on the ball…
