Bargaining

Practise bargaining with a seller or buyer who has a secret price limit. Keep them in a good mood, bargain smartly, and learn when to walk away.

Learning to negotiate early

The player chooses to be a buyer at the market or a seller of things they made. The other side has a hidden price limit and a mood meter: extreme offers upset them, too many rounds tire them, and walking away sometimes makes them call you back with a better price. Every deal is scored by how close the final price is to their secret limit, with lessons about price anchoring, bargaining in small steps, and when to walk away.

Bargaining is the art of finding a fair price. The other side has a secret limit: the lowest price they will accept (or the highest they will pay). Get as close to that limit as you can, but don’t make them angry enough to leave!

You buy from a market seller. The cheaper, the better.

You sell things you made to a buyer. The higher, the better.
