City price
Every city has its own price pressure. Demand, supply, heat, corruption, and player movement all matter.
Economy
Profit is a calculation, not a guess.
Markets move by city, product, stock, buyers, time, heat, and intel. The strongest players learn when to buy, when to hold, when to travel, and when to stay quiet.

Market rules
The number on the card is only the start
A good economy UI should explain why a move works. Gentleman Rising is built around visible tradeoffs instead of blind buttons.
Local stock
A cheap price means nothing if only a few units are available. Scarcity is part of the deal.
Buyers
Selling requires a real buyer. The best offer depends on city demand, product type, your network, and pressure.
Cost basis
The game tracks what you paid. A sell card should show whether the move is profit, break-even, or a loss.
Route cost
Travel burns cash, energy, hours, and exposure. The best margin can still be the wrong move.
Verified units
Intel is capped by what your network can actually verify, what you can afford, and what the city has in stock.
Intel
Better information is progression
New players see less. Veterans with brokers, charisma, assets, visits, and city control can read larger, cleaner opportunities.
Street rumor
A rough signal. Good enough to notice movement, not enough to bet the run.
Paid tip
Cleaner read for a product or destination, useful when you are stuck or broke.
Broker read
Your people can verify bigger routes, better buyers, and cleaner timing.
Local network
Assets, visits, trust, and control make that city easier to understand.
Verified route
A route read that includes product, destination, travel option, available stock, and expected profit.
Risk
Heat changes the math
Fast routes
Flights and direct jumps save hours, but raise exposure and paperwork pressure.
Quiet routes
Walking, buses, trains, and low-profile movement can protect your board when cash is tight.
City pressure
A hot city may pay more, but it can also punish sloppy movement, weak cover, and loud selling.
