AI Undercurrent: The Supply Chain Gambit

Think you can outsmart the market? 

In this casual and fun strategy simulation game, you'll lead an AI startup in a 20-round competition for market dominance. But the rules are drastically different: Everyone moves at the same time.

THE CORE CHALLENGE: BLIND BETTING

No turns. No waiting. You and 5 AI rivals submit decisions secretly and simultaneously.

  • Read the Signals: Is the "Compute Market" oversaturated?
  • Predict the Move: Will your rivals dump data or hoard chips?
  • The Reveal: All cards flip at once. Did you find a "Blue Ocean" or walk into a price war?

KEY FEATURES

  • Deep Supply Chain: Manage 14 nodes across Upstream (Chips/Energy), Midstream (Models), and Downstream (Apps/Auto).
  • Simulated Economy: Market tension, data scarcity crises, and power grid failures keep every game fresh.
  • Dynamic Events: From "Chip Embargos" to "Open Source Breakthroughs"—adapt or go bankrupt.
  • 5 Unique AI Rivals: Each with a distinct personality, from the aggressive "Chip Overlord" to the sneaky "Disruptor."
  • Procedural Ending: Get a custom narrative summary of your company’s 20-round legacy.

HOW TO PLAY

  1. Choose Your Origin: Start as a Data Tycoon, Compute Pioneer, or Model Prodigy.
  2. Allocate Talent: Assign your staff to different nodes each round.
  3. Survive & Outvalue: Reach Round 20 with the highest total assets (Cash + Infrastructure + Data).

Can you predict the next wave, or will you be pulled under?
