About This Game

Outsmart the Market. Crush the Competition.

Bull Run is a stock trading strategy game. Compete against AI rivals with distinct personalities, play local hotseat, or open a Steam lobby with friends. Start with $10,000, trade stocks, commodities, and crypto, and prove you are the smartest trader in the room.

Key Features

Career Mode

Start in your mom's basement with $10,000. There is no round limit. Gear, rent, and rivals stay with you as you work your way up. Buy property, back private companies, and sometimes take them public.

Dynamic Market Simulation

9 stocks across Tech, Auto, Retail, and Chips, plus GOLD, CORN, and volatile CRYP. Prices react to news, sector rotation, and black swan events. No two games play the same.

7 AI Opponents

Sage, Atlas, Trend, and Rebel are ready from the start. Unlock Wolf, Whale, and Quant by clearing their campaign scenarios. Each one plays a different game. Bring 1 to 5 of them into a match, with up to 4 human players on the same screen or in a Steam lobby.

Deep Trading Mechanics

Buy, sell, short, and cover. Manage margin, watch for insider tips (and the SEC), ride IPOs, survive margin calls, and collect dividends. Stocks can split, reverse-split, or get delisted.

13 Campaign Scenarios

A ladder of markets that change the rules. Survive a bear market, beat a boss head-to-head, profit from short selling, trade only crypto, and finish a marathon.

Market Events That Change Everything

Breaking news, market crashes, bull runs, black swan events, crypto hacks, commodity weather, and trading freezes keep every round unpredictable.

Perks

Crash Cushion softens a bad round. Loan Shark fronts you cash that you pay back later. Bull Rider multiplies the next round's gains and losses. T-bills pay a little on idle cash every round.

Victory Points

Winning is not only about money. Earn points for the richest portfolio, the biggest trade, the fewest losses, a bull run streak, and short selling.

19 Achievements and Global Leaderboards

19 Steam achievements. Five leaderboards: highest net worth, best return, most wins, biggest trade, and fastest victory.

Daily Challenge

One shared market each day. The same seed for everyone. Compare your result with players around the world.

Easy to Learn, Hard to Master

A tutorial walks you through the mechanics. Play Easy, or turn it up to Hard, where the AI trades bigger and shorts harder. Matches run 5 to 50 rounds. Career keeps going until you decide you are done.
