Borrowing is where people get rich or wiped out: margin calls and mortgages multiply wins, and push too far and the lender forces sales at the worst time.

Details
The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
What the game is
Dry Powder is a turn-based financial simulator released October 6, 2026 at $5.95.
You and six AI players start with money and a goal; every turn you buy shares, bonds and property, borrow to bet bigger, and watch the economy move.
The economy is generated fresh each run, so the crash never lands when you expect it.
Three investments
Stocks: high growth, high risk. Bonds: the safe option that pays off in a downturn.
Property: steady rent, bought outright or with a mortgage.
A real debt and leverage system means margin calls and mortgages shape every decision.
Rivals and who it is for
Six rivals, six strategies: one plays it safe, one swings for the fences, one only buys property, one runs the numbers.
None can see the future, so beating them is about reading the market better than they do.
It suits strategy players who like economic decision-making - the developer notes it is a simplified game, not investing advice (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-07).
