The Great Black is a single player card game about intergalactic trading. You own a shuttle that can fit six items (cards) and a modest amount of starting resources.
Your goal is to hustle your way to having 10000 credits by buying low and selling high.
As a player, you have three types of actions:
* Buy a card
* Sell a card
* Travel to another planet (costs one fuel)
Item availability and price vary from planet to planet. The planets will also only have a limited amounts of card available at a time (drawn randomly).
Fuel is a special kind of item. It can only be bought, and not sold or discarded.
Hints:
* Hover over planets to see what items are traded. Green means sold cheaply, gray means normal prices, other colors mean that you can sell at good markup.
* Not all planets sell fuel. Make sure you have enough fuel for the return trip.
* If you run out of money, or use your last amount of fuel going to a planet that doesn't sell fuel, you will lose.
Compatibility:
The game is meant to be played with a mouse on a computer. It needs at least 1280x768 resolution and a modern browser that supports WebGL. It has been tested in Chrome and IE11.
