Field notes
The described market responds to events including strikes, heatwaves, football matches, and festivals, with players searching for towns by name, department, or ticker. Holdings are represented as progressively taller pieces on a map; the player with the most shares in a town becomes its mayor and is described as collecting daily rent. The page also lays out monthly resets, daily rankings, and a slower collection mode.
