More about this game

In Time Bazaar, your goal is to amass wealth by trading magical artifacts in a dynamic market. Each day, you are presented with three artifact cards and a set of contracts. You must carefully watch the market trends—which change daily—to buy low and sell high. Fulfilling contracts earns you coins and reputation, which you can spend on permanent shop upgrades. The game continues indefinitely, with the market becoming more volatile as days pass.

Tips

Always check the market news before buying; a negative trend means prices will drop.
Prioritize fulfilling contracts, as they provide reputation needed for permanent upgrades.
Keep an eye out for special events, which can drastically alter market values or offer rare artifacts.

Questions

How do I get more inventory slots?

You can purchase the 'Silk Pockets' upgrade in the shop for 90 coins and 8 reputation to gain an additional inventory slot.

What does reputation do?

Reputation is used alongside coins to purchase permanent upgrades in the shop, such as broker discounts or new artifact categories.

How do contracts work?

Contracts require you to collect specific artifact traits. Once you have the required items in your inventory or sold that day, the contract is fulfilled, rewarding you with coins and reputation.
