About This Game

Your Potion Shop Is a Front

This cozy little potion shop has warm lights, bubbling cauldrons, tidy shelves, and nothing to see here. Behind closed doors the real business begins.

Cauldron Cartel is a game where you run a totally legal small-town shop to get rich. In this charming incremental game, you will need to build rapport, hire goblins, expand your recipes, unlock unique upgrades, discover new magic and grow your empire. Who says crime doesn’t pay? The bigger you get the more eyes are on you. The orders won’t stop and the cauldrons will keep brewing.

The cartel starts with one cauldron.

Brew, Automate, and Get Rich

Start with your wooden spoon and a single potion.

Stir it by hand, grow your resources, get tired of stirring, hire some help. You bring in goblins and delegate the work. Add more cauldrons, improve your resource flow, and tune the bottlenecks until the gold starts climbing.

Stay active or let it idle. Keep tweaking the operation until everything hums.  

Hire a Questionable Crew

You cannot do it alone.

Hob is your loyal old goblin friend who has kept you running longer than anyone would like to admit. Hire more goblins to take over the busywork as your shop continues to grow from “strange cauldron” into something tougher to explain. Bring in some wisps and who knows what other magical creatures are looking for a home.

The crew is messy, hardworking, and probably not legally employable.

Build Beneath the Floorboards

The shop is only the part customers can see.

Discover secret rooms as the operation extends underground with new systems, passive income, strange contraptions, rare ingredients, and experimental ways to grow the cartel.

The storefront is the cover story and the expansion is happening underneath.

Keep The Crooked Inspector Guessing

The forbidden recipes pay well.

They also attract unwanted attention.

For each shady transaction comes a layer of suspicion. The inspector will start looking over your shoulder, continue his frequent “audits”, and do whatever it takes to shut you down. Sometimes lining his pockets can help but it’ll cost you.

Prestige Into Something Bigger

Every operation hits a ceiling eventually.

When the shop slows down and the heat is high…

• Cash out

• Get out

• Reset

• Come back stronger

Bank your Smuggler Coins or spend them in the Black Ledger to unlock permanent upgrades that reshape future runs

Each reset makes the operation faster, stronger and harder to stop.

Cozy on the Surface. Cartel Underneath
