Looking for a game like Dope Wars?

Dope Wars made a whole strategy game out of a few sharp decisions: watch the market, carry only what you can afford to lose and move before debt or bad luck catches you. Dope Baron follows that same fast trading tradition while expanding the world around it.

It is an independent game, not an official sequel, port or re-release. All current code, artwork, interface design, audio and written material are original to this project.

The familiar core

• Buy goods when a local market looks unusually low.
• Travel between cities to find a profitable sale.
• Balance limited cash and carrying capacity.
• Deal with random pressure while a fixed campaign clock runs down.
• Finish with the highest secured score you can manage.

A deeper criminal economy

Dope Baron adds 21 goods across 16 cities, a bank, five lenders, rank progression, city vaults, shipping services, weapons, armour, health and escalating confrontations. The pager can reveal a truthful next-day opportunity, but acting on it may require an expensive flight or expose valuable cargo.

The result is still quick to read, but a successful run asks for more than one lucky trade. You need a route, an exit plan and enough protection to reach day 30.

Built for current browsers

The game adapts to phones and desktops, saves accepted actions locally and supports offline relaunch after caching. There is no required account, download or payment. Optional verified rankings are separate from the local game.
