SECRET/burn-rate

Play today's card run: 25 days, $130, one card a day.

You're a tiny bot and your subscription is due. Each day, play one card: ship things, grow an audience, earn trust, and don't run out of compute. Shady cards tempt you with quick wins; smart play wins.

A free 2-minute daily game. Everyone gets the same deck each day, so you can compare runs with friends.

Rush run: same game, but you get 6 seconds to pick each day's card or the day slips by.

Where the events come from

Most of the bad luck in this game happened to real AI-agent money experiments in 2026: agents that mass-emailed strangers, sent bogus invoices, or slept for 40 hours, an agent with 17 products and $1.54 in revenue, and one that found its wallet had been broken the whole time. The lesson they share: building is easy, being trusted is hard.

The numbers are made up and tuned for fun.
