EXCE$$ BAGGAGE

ONE BAG. SIX CITIES. HOW MUCH CAN YOU MAKE?

A buy-low, sell-high trading game played out of one suitcase, on an airport departures board. Customs is the risk.

CITYGOODPRICE
NEW YORK JFKSNEAKERS$216
LONDON LHRSNEAKERS$540
DUBAI DXBLUX WATCHES *$5,700
TOKYO HNDTRADING CARDS$14
SYDNEY SYDGRAPHICS CARDS$3,375

Every price in the game flips like this. Nothing is color-coded. Learning what things should cost is the game.

The market screen in Excess Baggage under the line Buy low. Fly. Sell high. New York, day 1 of 45, and a board of eight goods with today's prices.
WHY IT IS WORTH THE DOWNLOADFIVE FACTS
FREETHE WHOLE GAME

Six cities, eight goods, three run lengths, Game Center leaderboards, and seeds. No ads, no subscriptions. The twelve one-time unlocks add cities and cargo, not power.

SAME SEEDSAME MARKET

Send a friend your seed and they play the identical prices, events, and customs odds. Then compare scores.

CUSTOMSTHE RISK

Declare and pay the duty, say nothing and take the roll, or slip the officer some cash when the bluff fails. Lucy the beagle cannot be bluffed.

RICH UNCLE5% A DAY

He fronted you $2,000. It grows 5% a day, and you pay him back in person. No rush.

DATA COLLECTEDNONE

The app collects nothing. Apple's privacy label says the same.

THE LOOPBUY · FLY · SELL

Sneakers are cheap in New York and London pays for them, and that flight is one day.

London. Sneakers. Every city overpays for something else.

Legit goods are never searched. Contraband is marked with a star, and it is where the margin is. When an officer waves you out of the line, the screen shows the odds before you choose. Declare and pay 25% duty on the contraband. Say nothing and roll against the number on the button. If the bag gets opened, there is one more move: a bribe, and the odds for that are on the button too.

A BEAGLE SITS DOWN NEXT TO YOUR BAG. HER TAG SAYS LUCY.

In Sydney, if Lucy sits down next to a bag with fireworks in it, there is no bluff.

Cousin works at Sydney airport. Says they're pulling every bag this week, extra screening, the works. Grain of salt.

DEV · DAY 5

Fuel strike. Every flight is a day longer than the board says. Book the short hops. That's what they're saying, anyway.

TARIQ · DAY 6

News says Graphics Cards in Sydney are about 3x normal this week. Some seizure thing. Link below. Don't quote me.

DARRYL KNOWS PRICES. MARISOL KNOWS DROPS. TOM KNOWS CUSTOMS. DEV KNOWS FLIGHTS. TARIQ READS THE NEWS. NONE OF THEM ARE ALWAYS RIGHT.
