Donald Trump is auctioning off trade deals among four great leaders. Each round you declare how many deals you'll close, then fight for them proposal by proposal — the highest tariff wins. Score big only if you close exactly what you opened.

🍌🍾🚗📱 How to Play — Tariff Wars
The story
Donald Trump is holding an auction. Four leaders — Vlad, Ursula, Modi and Xi — compete to walk away with the most trade deals. You play one of them; the other three are at the table too, as AI or as friends online.
Objective
Most points across all rounds wins the auction. There is no target to reach — just finish with the highest score.
Your proposals
Your cards are 💰 Proposals: a tariff of 10% to 100% on one of four goods — 🍌 Fruit, 🍾 Wine, 🚗 Cars, 📱 Tech. Forty proposals in all, ten per good. The highest tariff wins.
A round, step by step
You pick a mode first, so a game runs 5 to 19 rounds. The number of proposals each leader holds changes every round — from 1 up to 10. Each round: look at your proposals, open your deals, then negotiate them one at a time.
Opening deals
Say how many deals you will close this round — anywhere from 0 up to the number of proposals you hold. These are your Open Deals. The Deal Proposals Counter on the left shows whether the table has opened more or fewer deals than there are to win. The Trump Card is revealed before anyone opens.
Negotiating
The opener puts a proposal on the table; its good is the one being negotiated. You must play a proposal on the same good if you have one — if you don't, play anything. The highest tariff on the negotiated good takes the deal — unless a proposal on the Trump good is played: then the highest Trump proposal wins. Whoever closes a deal makes the first proposal of the next one.
The Trump Card
Each round the Auctioneer flips one proposal; its good becomes Trump for the round. Any Trump proposal beats any proposal on another good. The exception is the 10-proposal round: every proposal is dealt, so nothing is left to flip — no Trump that round. The 💰 Idle Proposals box shows how many proposals stayed out of play.
Scoring
Close exactly the deals you opened and you score +10, plus 2 per deal (opening 0 and closing 0 still pays +10). Miss it — over or under, punished the same — and you lose 2 for every deal you are off. Your 🤝 Won Deals and the running score are in the panel on the left; tap 👀 to review the last deal a leader closed.
